The impact of real relationship and working alliance on therapy outcome: a study with an Italian sample
2009
According to Greenson (1965), Gelso & Hayes (1998) developed a tripartite model of the therapeutic relationship, including a working alliance (WA), a transference-countertransference configuration, and a real relationship (RR). Up to date, only two studies (conducted in the US) investigated the associations between the real relationship and the working alliance in psychotherapy.

METHOD: Sixty-five consecutive clients at the University Counseling …
Programas de intervención con hombres penados por violencia de género: el enfoque motivacional como aproximación para mejorar su eficacia

Early and Later Predictors of Outcome in Brief Therapy: The Role of Real Relationship
2012
Objectives: The study examined whether clients who continued longer in brief therapy reported stronger associations of real relationship and working alliance with therapy outcome than clients who received very brief treatment.

Thirty- two clients (very brief therapy) completed the post-third session assessment of real relationship and working alliance, and 18 (brief therapy) had both the third and eighth assessment. Results: The rea…
