Developing a method for training clinical psychologists to recognize and repair alliance ruptures: a pilot study focusing on trainee experiences
The training program showed promise for promoting therapist awareness and preventing alliance ruptures. However, refinements are necessary, particularly for the third component. This study provides a preliminary foundation for refining and further evaluating the program in clinical practice settings. The study's limitations include not objectively measuring awareness frequency and the potential influence of social desirability bias in participants' feedback.
