The importance of relational processes during psychotherapy and psychoanalysis has long been emphasized. Theoretical and empirical investigations have focused mostly on episodes in which the therapeutic relationship is taken over by transference, leads to enactments, or suffers ruptures, and much less on understanding the role of positive relational episodes in the change process during psychotherapy. Episodes of the latter type, conceptualized as Authentic Relational Moments (ARMs), are core experiences in the patient’s implicit relational learning in psychotherapy. ARMs are episodes in which the connection between patient and therapist is especially strong, deep, and genuine; their three main aspects are authenticity, understanding, and witnessing.

“比工作联盟更重要的东西”：真实的关系时刻

长期以来，人们一直强调心理治疗和精神分析过程中关系过程的重要性。理论和实证研究主要集中在治疗关系被移情接管、导致制定或遭受破裂的事件上，很少关注积极关系事件在心理治疗过程中的变化过程中的作用。后一种类型的情节被概念化为真实的关系时刻（ARMs），是心理治疗中患者内隐关系学习的核心体验。ARM 是患者和治疗师之间的联系特别牢固、深刻和真诚的情节；他们的三个主要方面是真实性、理解和见证。
