In this introduction to this issue on Rupture–Repair in Practice, we present our understanding of alliance ruptures using common language to appeal to all theoretical orientations. Specifically, we define withdrawal movements away from another or oneself (efforts towards isolation or appeasement) and confrontation movements against another (efforts towards aggression or control). In addition to these interpersonal markers, we suggest that therapist emotional experiences can be considered as intrapersonal markers indicating rupture. We emphasize understanding ruptures as relational phenomena. Then we present various pathways toward rupture–repair, highlighting renegotiation of therapy tasks or goals and exploration of patient and therapist contributions and needs. We explain how these paths can be understood as critical change processes that can transform obstacles in treatment into opportunities. We finish with some mention of our alliance‐focused training for self‐development. This issue represents an important step towards demonstrating the transtheoretical and practical potential of rupture–repair.

再一次用更少的术语：“实践中的断裂修复”介绍

在这个关于破裂修复实践问题的介绍中，我们使用通用语言来表达我们对联盟破裂的理解，以诉诸所有理论方向。具体来说，我们定义了远离他人或自己的撤退运动（努力孤立或绥靖）和对抗他人的对抗运动（努力侵略或控制）。除了这些人际关系标记之外，我们建议治疗师的情绪体验可以被视为表明破裂的内在标记。我们强调将破裂理解为关系现象。然后我们提出了各种通往破裂修复的途径，强调重新谈判治疗任务或目标以及对患者和治疗师贡献和需求的探索。我们解释了如何将这些路径理解为可以将治疗中的障碍转化为机遇的关键变化过程。最后，我们提到了我们以联盟为重点的自我发展培训。这个问题代表了朝着证明破裂修复的跨理论和实践潜力迈出的重要一步。
