Abstract

This study examined several theoretical propositions regarding the role of the real relationship using a sample of 59 psychotherapy dyads. As hypothesized, positive associations were evident between therapist ratings of the real relationship and their ratings of the working alliance and client progress; negative associations were found between therapist ratings of the real relationship and attachment avoidance. For clients, significant and hypothesized associations were found between ratings of the real relationship and secure attachment to therapists as well as their perceptions of therapist empathy. Regression analyses showed that client ratings of the real relationship were significantly associated with their ratings of progress in treatment above and beyond their ratings of the working alliance, therapist empathy, and attachment.

Abstract

Correlatos de la relación real en psicoterapia. Estudio de díadas.

Por medio de una muestra de cincuenta y nueve díadas de psicoterapia, este estudio examina varias proposiciones teóricas respecto del rol de la relación real. Como se hipotetizó, fueron evidentes las asociaciones positivas entre los puntajes del terapeuta en la relación real y sus puntajes en la alianza de trabajo y progreso del cliente; se encontraron asociaciones negativas entre los puntajes del terapeuta en la relación real y en la evitación del apego. Se encontraron asociaciones significativas e hipotetizdas entre los puntajes de la relación real de los clientes y el apego seguro a los terapeutas, así también como sus percepciones de la empatía del terapeuta. Los análisis de regresión mostraron que los puntajes del cliente en la relación real estuvieron significativamente asociados con sus puntajes de progreso en el tratamiento más allá de sus puntajes en la alianza de trabajo, en la empatía del terapeuta y en el apego.
