Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Natacha Hennemann  and  BENETTI, Sílvia Pereira da Cruz. Therapeutic Alliance: establishment, maintenance and disruption of relationship. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.67, n.3, pp.125-138. ISSN 1809-5267.

Therapeutic Alliance (TA) has been identified as an important indicator of results in psychotherapy. This theoretical article presents two important research's topics related to TA: patient's and therapist's personal characteristics, which are associated to establishment and maintenance of TA in therapy, according to Corbella's and Botella's studies, and factors associated with early abandonment of treatment, aiding to identify, prevent and restore AT through contributions of Safran and Muran. Understanding development of AT, as well as the factors that can influence in a positive way, it allows to strengthen therapeutic relationship and to structure a treatment directed to patient's needs.

Keywords : Therapeutic alliance establishment; Patient; Therapist; Alliance ruptures.
