“…Along with the potential mental health benefits of such knowledge, this line of research will help us learn more about the theories of change across treatment modalities. Finally, in light of the existing literature on gender as a predictor of outcome (e.g., Ogrodniczuk, 2006), it was surprising to notice that only three of the 10 articles in this special section used gender as a predictor of outcome. Furthermore, only one study examined the role of race or ethnicity.…”

“…Gender was not a significant predictor of client outcome in this study. Although some research studies have found that client gender does predict counseling outcome (Cottone et al, ; Ogrodniczuk, ), other studies have found that client gender is not a predictor of counseling outcome (Owen et al, ; Zlotnick et al, ). Female participants did report significantly higher levels of symptom severity ( p = .003) at baseline ( M = 78.03) compared with male participants ( M = 64.18).…”

“…Research findings about client gender differences in counseling outcomes are ambiguous: some studies found no difference (Owen, Wong, & Rodolfo, 2009;Zlotnick, Shea, Pilkonis, Elkin, & Ryan, 1996), whereas other studies indicated that there are gender differences in outcome (Cottone, Drucker, & Javier, 2002;Ogrodniczuk, 2006). There have not been studies conducted with Canadian Indigenous peoples that examined the influence of gender on counseling outcomes.…”

The aim of this study was to determine whether client therapeutic alliance ratings and client symptom severity were predictors of counseling outcomes among Canadian Indigenous clients. Participants included 179 Canadian Indigenous clients who completed an outcome measure at the 1st and last sessions and an alliance measure at both the 2nd and 3rd sessions. Results indicated that higher client alliance ratings at Sessions 2 and 3 and baseline client symptom severity were significant predictors of outcome. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si las valoraciones del cliente de la alianza terapéutica y la severidad de los síntomas del cliente fueron indicadores de los resultados de la consejería entre clientes indígenas canadienses. Los participantes incluyeron 179 clientes indígenas canadienses que completaron una medida de resultados en la primera y última sesión, además de una medida de la alianza en la segunda y tercera sesión. Los resultados indicaron que unas valoraciones del cliente más altas de la alianza en las sesiones 2 y 3 y la severidad preliminar de los síntomas del cliente fueron indicadores significativos del resultado.

“…Gender socialization may help provide the context explaining why the alliance may differ for men and women in heterosexual couples. Men are typically socialized to conform to the masculine norms of being independent and self‐reliant (Kaplan, ; Mahalik et al ., ; Ogrodniczuk, ); whereas women are generally socialized to conform to feminine norms, such as being relationship‐focused, nurturing and emotionally expressive (Ogrodniczuk, ). These gender socialization processes may impact on the establishment of the alliance in couple therapy.…”

This study examined gender differences in session one alliances and in the trajectory of the alliance over the course of couple therapy. Additionally, this study examined the association between men and women's pre-therapy relationship adjustment and alliance at session one and over the course of therapy. A total of 316 couples seeking outpatient couple therapy were given the Locke-Wallace marital adjustment test at pre-therapy to measure relationship adjustment and the session rating scale after each session to measure alliance with the therapist. The results showed that men had lower alliance ratings after session one than women. Men's pre-therapy relationship adjustment was positively associated with their own session one alliance as well as their own alliance trajectory over the course of therapy. Men's pre-therapy relationship adjustment was also positively associated with their partner's session one alliance. Women's pre-therapy relationship adjustment showed no significant relationship with their own alliance or their partners at session one or the alliance trajectory over the course of therapy. The implications for how these gender differences may impact on the process of couple therapy with heterosexual couples are discussed.
