“…Findings indicated that individuals reporting high levels of fearful attachment showed significantly less improvement following 16 sessions of psychotherapy. Results therefore concur with those of Cyranowski et al (2002) and Hardy et al (2001) in that the maintenance of a negative view of the self and others not only appears to be associated with major depression, but also impedes response to therapy. Owing to epidemiological evidence indicating a greater prevalence of major depression for females (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1994, few studies have included male participants in their sample (Carnelley et al, 1994;Cyranowski et al, 2002;Whiffen et al, 2001).…”

“…Although fearful attachment did not distinguish clients classified as 'remitters' from 'non-remitters', high levels of fearful attachment did significantly predict a longer time to clinical stabilization of symptoms. Similarly, clients with a predominantly avoidant (or 'underinvolved') interpersonal style have been found to be less responsive to timelimited cognitive therapy (Hardy et al, 2001). Further, this relationship was explained by deficits in the therapeutic alliance.…”

Fearful attachment, working alliance and treatment response for individuals with major depression

The present research examines links between adult attachment styles, working alliance, and treatment response in men and women receiving 16 sessions of supportive-expressive dynamic psychotherapy for major depression. 58 clients were assessed using the Relationship Questionnaire and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) prior to commencement of psychotherapy. The Working Alliance Inventory was completed in session 3, and the HRSD was readministered after six and 16 sessions. Results indicated that a high proportion (39%) of the sample reported 'fearful-avoidant' attachment at intake. Fearful avoidance also longitudinally predicted significantly more negative outcomes (particularly over the initial six sessions), but was unrelated to working alliance. Working alliance was unrelated to treatment response. Findings highlight the negative impact of fearful attachment on treatment response, but indicate that this occurs independent of the working alliance. The avoidance of intimacy for fear of rejection appears to impede successful psychotherapy, and treatment should be tailored for these clients.

“…In the psychotherapy literature, some studies have investigated the mediating role of the working alliance on the relation between a client' s characteristics and the outcome of the therapy (Hardy et al, 2001;Meyer et al, 2002); others have examined the moderating role of the working alliance on the relation between cognitive therapy for depression and various change indicators (see Whisman, 1993). However, results thus far have not been conclusive.…”

“…In support, authors in the organizational domain have argued for adapting the working alliance to the process of executive coaching (Latham & Heslin, 2003;Joo, 2005). As is the case for counseling, the effectiveness of executive coaching is likely dependant on mutual agreement on the goals that are to be attained, the paths to attaining them, and an executive' s level of interpersonal comfort with the coach.In the psychotherapy literature, some studies have investigated the mediating role of the working alliance on the relation between a client' s characteristics and the outcome of the therapy (Hardy et al, 2001;Meyer et al, 2002); others have examined the moderating role of the working alliance on the relation between cognitive therapy for depression and various change indicators (see Whisman, 1993).

Numerous authors have suggested that the working relationship between coach and coachee constitutes an essential condition to the success of executive coaching. This study empirically investigated the links between the coach-coachee relationship and the success of a coaching intervention in an organizational setting. Data were collected from two samples: 73 managers who received executive coaching for a period of eight months and 24 coaches. Results from 31 coach-coachee dyads were analyzed. Results indicate that the coach-coachee relationship plays a mediating role between the coaching received and development of the coachees' self-efficacy. Findings also show four significant correlates to the coach-coachee relationship: the coach's selfefficacy with regard to facilitating learning and results, the coachee's motivation to transfer, his or her perception of supervisor support, and the number of coaching sessions received.In organizational settings, executive coaching has become an increasingly common skill-development method (Bacon & Spear, 2003;Kampa-Kokesch & Anderson, 2001). The International Coaching Federation (ICF) alone numbered 15,000 members in 90 countries in 2008. However, many authors have noted the lack of scientific studies on the process and the outcome of executive coaching (see Lowman, 2005;Sue-Chan & Latham, 2004), and others have argued that this development approach is overused considering the paucity of research on the subject (McGovern et al., 2001). In short, the results from empirical studies indicate that executive coaching is positively associated with self-efficacy (Baron & Morin, 2007;Evers, Brouwers, & Tomic, 2006), leadership (Thach, 2002) (Smither, London, Flautt, Vargas, & Kucine, 2003). In regard to the process, very little is known about the variables that influence its effectiveness.The working relationship established between the coach and the coachee appears to be a key process variable. Numerous authors have suggested that a good working relationship constitutes an essential condition for the success of executive coaching (Kampa & White, 2002;Kampa-Kokesch & Anderson, 2001;Kilburg, 2001;Lowman, 2005). However, there are scarcely any reported studies of the link between the coach-coachee relationship and the effectiveness of executive coaching. Further, to our knowledge there are no studies that have examined the determinants of the coach-coachee working relationship. The goal of our study was to partially fill that gap in the literature. Our first objective aimed to answer the question, What role does the working relationship between the coach and the coachee have in executive coaching outcomes? In this study, exploration of the coach-coachee working relationship has been largely inspired by the literature on the working alliance from the psychotherapy domain. Specifically, we attempted to empirically explore the links between the coach-coachee relationship and self-efficacy, a variable significantly associated with training outcomes (Colquitt, LePine, & Noe, 2000;Salas & C...

It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as royal ...
