“…It deals with the mutual emotional link, trust, and warmth between the counselling interactors (Sussman, 2004). and falls beyond the rational considerations of therapeutic relationship (Johnsson & Stenlund, 2010). This factor is fortified by emotive dimensions of therapy and is called a cognitive function for a higher-order emotional involvement (Wirth et al, 2007;Wirth et al, 2012).…”

The growing urge for mental health via telecommunication systems argues for such services to be discussed at the field of human-computer interaction. However, in spite of the research and evidence that express effectivity of telecounselling, details about the transition to computer-mediated environment are still uncharted. "Cybertherapogy" was coined in this regard to build a schema for engaging and creating meaningful therapy experiences during remote sessions. The model labels strategies that mental health providers should include in their services. Cognitive, counselling, and emotional modules were intersected and overlapped to construct the domains of therapeutic presence in cyberspace. This architecture of emotional agency has been synthesised for psychotherapy by the ongoing concepts and theoretical foundations of present study and electronic learning engagement. It is believed that the model will enable therapists to facilitate their remote, professional engagement with clients and help design administrative tactics for adequate therapy services.

“…In spite of that, the enhancement and preservation of the therapeutic alliance, the helping alliance, or the working alliance are usually intended as an explicit aim of therapy – a tool that the therapist deliberately employs, mainly through specific attention to the presence of markers of alliance ruptures and purposeful attempts at resolutions. In a study by Johnsson and Stenlund ( 2010 ), the authors distinguish between what they call rational elements of the alliance ( e.g ., agreement on task and goals) and the affective dimension of the alliance ( e.g ., the quality of the emotional bond). The authors argue that a focus on the affective dimension of the alliance, more so than on the rational dimension, is what accounts for change in treatment.…”

Critical aspects of the therapeutic alliance appear to be established as early as the first session. Specifically, the affective bond between the therapeutic dyad appears to develop early in treatment and tends to remain stable over time, while agreements on goals and tasks tend to fluctuate over the course of treatment. Are there distinguishable early signs of a strong therapeutic alliance? In this study, we examined how some linguistic measures indicative of joint emotional elaboration correlated with a measure of the therapeutic alliance assessed within a single session. Initial intake sessions with 40 patients with varying diagnoses were videotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using linguistic measures of referential process and then scored with the Segmented Working Alliance Inventory-Observer form. Results showed that patients who were rated as more emotionally engaged in relating their experiences and then reflecting on them by mid-session also had higher scores in the therapeutic alliance by the final part of that same session. An implication of this study is that the interpersonal factors facilitating elaboration of inner experience, including elements of warmth, safety, and analytic trust, are related to the development of early therapeutic alliance. These findings did not appear to be dependent on the patient’s psychopathology. This study is one in a growing line of research exploring how patients speak rather than just the content of what they say.
