D`ACRI, Gladys Costa de Moraes Rêgo Macedo. Reflections about the therapeutical contract as a self regulating instrument for the therapist. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.1, pp.42-50. ISSN 1809-6867.

The presented article proposes to take the therapeutic contract beyond the combination of objective data. The development of the relationship between therapist and client is shaped during the first meetings. In this context the therapeutic contract contributes to this relationship. The contract can, if it considers the current needs of the professional, prevent that the relationship gets damaged due to dissatisfaction, interruption, abandonment, or stopping treatment all together. The author suggests to set up a written contract as an additional mechanism to build this relationship and presents her model and contract details.
