ABSTRACT

As research has shown a consistent link between the alliance and the therapeutic success, an alliance-focused supervision was designed to help novice therapists improve their relational and collaborative abilities. Fifteen young therapists participated in the alliance-focused supervision and 15 did not. Therapists’ and clients’ results at the Working Alliance Inventory showed that the supervision model improved their perceptions concerning the therapist’s ability to foster mutual emotional involvement, as well as collaboration. All therapists demonstrated an ability to negotiate emotional alliance with the client. However, when they participated in the alliance-focused supervision, they appeared to improve their capacity to finding an agreement with the client around therapeutic goals, which was not the case when they did not participate. In addition, more independent views on the alliance appeared in clients and therapists when the professional took part in the alliance-focused supervision than when he/she did not. Results on the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale also showed that participating in the alliance-focused supervision had a protective influence on therapists’ impulsiveness. Overall, alliance-focused supervision appeared useful in helping therapists improve emotional involvement and collaboration in the alliance. It also seemed to protect them from being impulsive.

摘要

研究表明联盟与治疗成功之间存在着始终如一的联系，因此，以联盟为中心的监督旨在帮助新手治疗师提高他们的关系和协作能力。15名年轻的治疗师参加了以联盟为中心的监督，而15名则没有参加。工作联盟清单中的治疗师和客户结果  结果表明，监督模型改善了他们对治疗师促进相互情感参与和协作能力的认识。所有的治疗师都表现出与客户进行情感联盟谈判的能力。但是，当他们参加以联盟为中心的监督时，他们似乎提高了在治疗目标上与客户达成协议的能力，而当他们不参加时就不是这种情况。此外，当专业人员参加以联盟为重点的监督时，与未参加者相比，在客户和治疗师中出现了更多的关于联盟的独立观点。情绪调节量表的难点结果  还表明，参加以联盟为中心的监督对治疗师的冲动具有保护作用。总体而言，以联盟为中心的监督对于帮助治疗师改善联盟中的情感参与和协作似乎很有用。似乎也可以保护他们免受冲动。
