Resolving therapeutic alliance ruptures: diversity and integration.
This article reviews and synthesizes the diverse contributions of the authors in this issue of In Session: Psychotherapy in Practice. It presents a schematization of direct and indirect interventions that therapists typically implement to address problems related to the tasks and goals of treatment, or the affective bond between therapist and client. We then present an additional perspective on the resolution of therapeutic alliance ruptures, emerging out of our own research program.
