The therapeutic relationship began to be evidenced by behavior analysis when it was realized that it offered - facilitated clinically relevant changes in customers, arguing to be a prerequisite for adherence and treatment success. The literature shows that the standard and quality of the therapeutic relationship is established in the initial interviews of treatment. This study sought to describe in terms of frequency, which are on verbal voice client and therapist more common in early behavior-analytic therapy. Three initial sessions of therapist- client dyads two (therapists) were transcribed and categorized by means of vocal verbal categories of therapists and clients from the multidimensional system for the categorization of behaviors in the therapeutic relationship. It was observed that therapists analyzed predominantly facilitated the account of customers, and the second type of intervention used was "requesting reports" while customers predominantly reported events. Some aspects seem to be related to the initiation of treatment, such as' request reports' part of data collection and the absence of the category of actions or failure reports from client ', is itself an audience not punitive. Some features seem related to the therapist - client, for example, the category of customers' reporting relationships between events' seems to increase the frequency when the therapist increased the frequency of category 'reflection request. " Considering the purpose of this descriptive study suggest further research on the topic to facilitate further analysis aspects related to the therapeutic relationship.
