2. All therapeutic relationships may be seen as consisting of three interlocking components: a real relationship, a working alliance, and a transference-countertransference configuration. 3. Techniques and the relationship go hand in hand, each affecting the other and at times being part of the other.; 4. The preservation and strengthening of the working alliance should take center stage from the very beginning of treatment |
|
5. What may be termed a real or personal relationship exists from the first moment of contact between therapists and patients and must be attended to by therapists if treatment is to have its maximal impact. 6. Empathy, caring, and affirmation are key elements of successful treatments of all theoretical persuasions.; 7. Within the context of empathy, caring, and affirmation, therapy is most successful when the therapist maintains a stance of benevolent neutrality |
| Summary |
The Therapeutic Relationship in Psychotherapy Practice: An Integrative Perspective explores the key components of the patient-therapist relationship in psychotherapy, as well as how these elements affect the treatment process and outcomes and what therapists may do to enhance the relationship. Dr. Gelso posits a tripartite model in which the therapeutic relationship is seen as being composed of three interlocking elements: a real or personal relationship, a working alliance, and a transference-countertransference configuration that exist in each and every therapeutic relationship. Focusing on what psychotherapists can do to foster strong and facilitative relationships with their patients, the book includes substantial material drawn from clinical practice, with an ever-present eye on research findings |
