| dc.description.abstract | There is wide consensus that, in early stages of psychotherapy, a good alliance is an important predictor of positive outcome, particularly if rated by clients and in early stages of psychotherapy (Constantino et al., 2002; Horvath & Bedi, 2002). Both theory and empirical research have been concerned with delineating therapist and client specific contributions to alliance development, with particular emphasis on clinical, relational, and technical dimensions. Still, uncertainty persists and further evidence is needed. Although the relation between client attachment and alliance is relatively well established (e.g., Diener & Monroe, 2012), results seem more ambiguous regarding therapist attachment dimensions. Recent research suggests that the complexity of clients’ problems may work as a moderator, turning therapist attachment relevant as clinical impairment increases (Bucci et al., 2015; Schauenburg et al., 2010). Additionally, therapist and client attachment dimensions may interact in ways that affect alliance, although research addressing this hypothesis is still very scarce (see Degnan et al., 2016). In particular, dissimilar or non-complementary matches of therapist and client relational dimensions may benefit the therapeutic process (Bernier & Dozier, 2002). Dealing with difficulties coming from the relational match and/or clinical severity will probably require therapists to regulate their own reactions, turning countertransference management (CtM; Gelso & Hayes, 2007) into a relevant dimension in the process. | pt_PT |
