“…Terapötik ittifakın potansiyeli ve bir önceki bölümde özetlenen ve psikoterapi sonucunun düzenli takibini öneren yaklaşım bir araya getirilerek psikoterapinin olası olumsuz sonuçlarından sakınmak ve psikoterapi sonucunu daha iyiye taşımak olanaklı görünmektedir. Örneğin, ülkemizde yaygın olarak kullanılan ve yakın zamanda yeniden gözden geçirilen ve kısaltılan Terapötik İttifak Ölçeği'ni (Gülüm, Uluç ve Soygüt, 2016;Soygüt ve Uluç, 2009) rutin uygulamaların bir parçası haline getirmek ve ittifaktaki örüntüyü takip ederek psikoterapi sürecini biçimlendirmek yararlı olabilecek yöntemlerden biridir. Söz konusu araç ile hem danışandan hem psikoterapistten hem de bağımsız gözlemcilerden ittifaka yönelik düzenli bilgi edinilmesi olanaklıdır.…”

This study aims to summarize studies related to psychotherapy trainees' and psychotherapy experts' awareness on the process of psychotherapy, specifically the process those have potential for causing a negative psychotherapy outcome. In this scope, this study also aims to provide some insights and methods to increase awareness related to psychotherapy process. There are three possible negative outcomes of psychotherapy: dropout, no change, and deterioration. Psychotherapists' low awareness level skin to these results can be considered as a risk factor. Dropping out from a psychotherapy process is a negative phenomenon for patients, psychotherapists, institutions which treatments take place. Similarly, no change and deterioration are also negative phenomenon especially for the patients. In the scope of this study firstly possible sources of these negative consequences will be presented and latter some insights and methods related to increase psychotherapists' awareness will be discussed. In this context, outcome monitoring, mindfulness based application, and therapeutic alliance focused trainings and interventions will be covered.

“… 38 In addition, the three-factor correlated structure of the WAI-SP has been validated in different countries. For example, in Canada, 39 Turkey, 40 and Poland. 41 Recent research also confirms this factorial model in Asian participants from China 42 where favorable results were obtained for the bifactor model, and Thailand, where both the unidimensional and three-dimensional models are plausible, suggesting that both structures are equally valid for explaining the nature of the therapeutic alliance in that context.…”

Background Although the importance of the therapeutic alliance in the treatment process and health outcomes is recognized, so far, there has been no evaluation in the Peruvian context that considers possible individual differences that could influence this assessment. Purpose This study assessed the psychometric properties of the WAI-S-P in a sample of individuals from Peru who are receiving psychological therapy. Furthermore, a network analysis was conducted to investigate the direct relationships between the therapeutic alliance and several relevant sociodemographic variables. Methods The short version of the Working Alliance Inventory was used in a sample of 241 participants ( M age =32.58, SD =12.67) that had attended less than 6 sessions. Three models were considered, including a three-factor and a two-factor correlated model, as well as a bifactor model. In addition, a network of partial associations was created including the overall therapeutic alliance, sex, age, and number of psychotherapeutic sessions. Results The bifactor model, with an overall therapeutic alliance factor and two specific factors (“contact” and “contract”), better fit the data. Invariance of the structure by sex and age showed equitable measurement. On the other hand, network analysis revealed a positive correlation between total session attendance and therapeutic alliance. Men reported higher therapeutic alliance, while women had higher total session attendance. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that the therapeutic alliance is better represented by a bifactor model and demonstrates invariance across sex and age in Peruvian adults. Additionally, findings indicate that differences in life experiences and the sex of patients may need to be verified in future studies to better understand nuanced needs in forming therapeutic alliances at least in the early stages of session attendance.

BackgroundThe therapeutic alliance between multidisciplinary teams and parents within youth (semi) residential psychiatry is essential for the treatment process and forms a promising process variable for Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM). No short evaluative instrument, however, is currently available to assess parent-team alliance.ObjectiveIn this study, the Working Alliance Inventory-Short Version (WAV-12), a widely used alliance questionnaire, was adjusted to assess parent-team alliance from both a parent and team perspective within a youth residential setting. Psychometric properties, including factor structure and validity of the subscales, were explored.MethodsA sample of youth with mainly complex developmental disorders admitted to 11 inpatient and day patient units of a child and adolescent psychiatric institute participated in this study. The case manager involved with the youth and the primary caregiver of 87 youth completed the revised WAV-12 (WAV-12R).ResultsThe team version of the WAV-12R showed a good fit to the original conceptualized model, and distinguished Bond, Task and Goal scales. For the parents’ version an adjusted model with Insight, Bond and combined Task/Goal scales had the best fit. The reliability and validity of the scales were shown to be good.ConclusionsThis paper presents preliminary evidence that the parent and treatment team versions of the WAV-12R are psychometrically sound for assessing parent-team alliance within youth (semi) residential psychiatry in the Netherlands. The team and parents’ versions of the WAV-12R are recommended instruments to complement outcome measures in ROM.
