“…Before this period, research on the relationship in adolescent treatment tended to use more general relationship measures or measures that focused on the qualities of the clinician. These measures included the following: the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory (Barrett-Lennard, 1962), considered the pioneer instrument for patient and therapist judgments of the therapeutic relationship (M. R. Luborsky, 1994) and used with adolescents in seven studies (Hansen, Zimpfer, & Easterling, 1967;Joseph,1997;Lanning & Lemons, 1974;Maurer & Tindall, 1983;McNally & Drummond, 1973;Sandhu, Reeves, & Portes, 1993;Selfridge & Vander Kolk, 1976); the Carkhuff 's scales (Carkhuff, 1969), used with adolescents in two studies (Joseph, 1997;McNally & Drummond, 1973); the Counselor Rating Form (Barak & LaCrosse, 1975;Corrigan & Schmidt, 1983), used with adolescents in three studies (Blankenship, Eels, Calozzi, Perry, & Barnes, 1998;Hagborg, 1991;Sandhu et al, 1993); the Origin Climate Questionnaire (De Charms, 1976), used with adolescents in Taylor, Adelman, and Kaser-Boyd (1986); the Personal and Professional Therapist Qualities and Characteristic Rating Form modified (Hatfield, 1983); the Leathers Nonverbal Feedback Rating Instrument (Leathers, 1978), used with adolescents in Sandhu et al (1993); the Feeling Word Checklist (Holmqvist & Armelius, 1994), used with adolescents in Holmqvist et al (2007); the Impact Message Inventory-Circumplex (Kiesler, 1996), used with adolescents in Auerbach et al (2008); and the Client-Therapist Relationship Scale (Noser & Bickman, 2000), which is a derivative of a satisfaction questionnaire. As this list of instruments indicates, there is substantial variability in the types of measures used to assess the relationship in adolescent therapy.…”
