“…The Real Relationship Inventory (RRI; Kelley, Gelso, Fuertes, Marmarosh, Lanier, 2010) measures the personal relationship between the client and therapist. It consists of two 12-item subscales (Realism and Genuineness) rated on 5-point scales (1 = strongly agree, 5 = strongly disagree).…”

“…Testretest reliability has been demonstrated to be .88 for genuineness, .84 for realism, and .87 for the total score. The RRI is positively related to ratings of the working alliance (r = .79) and therapist ratings of the real relationship (r = .60) and negatively related to client avoidant attachment (r = -.40) (Kelley et al, 2010, Marmarosh, Gelso, Markin, Majors, Mallery, & Choi, 2009). This study used a 12-item version of the measure that was first used in Hill et al (2013), which consists of the 12 items believed to best encompass the theoretical components of the measure.…”

“…The real relationship includes the degree to which the client feels understood and "seen" by the therapist (Kelley, Gelso, Fuertes, Marmarosh, & Lanier, 2010). It makes sense, given the personal nature of secrets, that concealment and disclosure would be related to the real relationship.…”

This study investigated client motivations for concealing versus disclosing secrets in therapy as well as how this negotiation process relates to therapeutic process and outcome. About half of the participants had both revealed a secret and were concealing a secret in therapy. Disclosed secrets were most likely to be related to relationships and were disclosed because the clients felt they could trust their therapists and because they thought they could benefit from sharing the secret. Concealed secrets were most likely to be sexual in nature and to be concealed due to shame or embarrassment. Clients initially experienced comparable levels of negative and positive emotions when they first disclosed their secret. However, over time, their feelings about the disclosure became more positive and less negative. Concealment was negatively related to the real relationship.

“…Thus, each item assessed how much genuineness or realism existed, as well as how positive versus negative were the client's perceptions of the genuineness and realism of the client, the therapist, and their relationship. The Reahsm and Genuineness subscales were found to be highly interrelated (r = .80; Kelley et al, 2010). Examples of items are "My therapist and I were able to be authentic in our relationship" (Genuineness item) and "My therapist's perceptions of me were accurate" (Realism item).…”

This study sought to assess the association of client- and therapist-rated real relationship with each other and with the outcome of brief psychotherapy. It also aimed to determine whether changes over time in perceptions of the real relationship and increasing convergence between clients' and therapists' ratings of the real relationship were associated with outcome. Forty-two clients and their therapists (n = 19) at 2 university counseling centers completed measures assessing the strength of their real relationship after every session of brief psychotherapy. They also completed an outcome measure at the end of treatment. Clients' ratings of the real relationship after the first session, first quarter of treatment, and after all sessions combined related to outcomes. Therapists' ratings of the real relationship at these time points did not relate to outcome. However, increases over time in therapists' ratings of real relationship strength, as well as increasing convergence with clients' ratings of the real relationship, did relate to outcome. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

What role does the real relationship play in psychoanalytic supervision? While the real relationship's role has long been and continues to be considered with regard to psychoanalysis, it has received virtually no attention in the supervision literature. In this paper, using Horney's construct of the real self as conceptual anchor, I attempt to: (1) situate the real relationship squarely within the borders of the psychoanalytic supervision relationship; (2) examine the relevance of real relationship phenomena for the supervision experience; (3) provide some simple, ordinary yet meaningful examples of case dialogue that illustrate moments of real relationship in supervision; and (4) introduce the concept of real relationship rupture and consider its potential ramifications for and impact upon the supervisor-supervisee relationship. Just as ruptures can occur in the supervisory alliance, I propose that ruptures can also transpire in the supervisory real relationship, have the potential to reverberate throughout the entirety of the supervision experience, and depending upon how they are handled, can prove either constructive and relationally energizing and enlivening or enervating and eviscerating to supervision process and outcome.
