Therapeutic Interaction and Dropout: Measuring Relational Communication in Solution‐focused Therapy

“…This instrument was modified by several authors in the following decades (Mark, 1971;Ericon and Rogers, 1973;Rogers and Farace, 1975;Heatherington and Friedlander, 1987), until the Relational Communication Control Coding Scheme (RCCCS) and the Family-Relational Communication Control Coding Scheme (F-RCCCS) 182 Mark Beyebach and Valentín E. Carranza were developed. These were applied in different settings, including the study of marital couples, manager-subordinate dyads and therapist-client interactions (Friedlander and Heatherington, 1989;Friedlander et al, 1991;Heatherington and Allen, 1984;Lichtenberg and Barké, 1981;Rogers and Bagarozzi, 1983).

TICS, though using fewer categories, approaches the complexity of Pinsof's (1980) FTCS because it codes in thought units, records who spoke to whom, and the contextual nature of the spoken message is analyzed through the use of conditional probabilities.…”

Interpersonal Control in Structural and Milan Systemic Family Therapy

“…The original RCCCS has been used reliably in a number of investigations of marital relationships and individual psychotherapy (Heatherington & Allen, 1984;Lichtenberg & Barke, 1981;Thames & Johnson, 1982). The FRCCCS has recently been used in a study of short-term strategic therapy ) and a case study of structural therapy (Raymond, 1991).…”
