This study examined the structural relationship between music therapists’ self-efficacy and countertransference management ability, and therapeutic outcomes perceived by music therapists and their clients regarding the working alliance they perceive in Guided Imagery and Music (GIM). The participants were 77 therapists and their clients. Our results indicated that therapists’ self-efficacy had a significant direct influence on their perceived therapeutic outcomes, and a significant direct and indirect influence on their perceived working alliance. Second, therapists’ self-efficacy did not directly influence the client-perceived working alliance, but significantly influenced the working alliance mediated by therapists’ countertransference management ability. Third, therapist- and client-perceived working alliances had a significant influence on their perceived therapeutic outcomes. Thus, the influence of therapists’ working alliance on therapeutic outcomes was similar for therapists and clients. However, the influence of client-perceived working alliance on therapist-perceived therapeutic outcomes was relatively lower than its impact on client-perceived therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, the self-efficacy, countertransference management ability, and working alliance of music therapists are critical variables in mediating therapeutic outcomes in GIM.

这项研究检查了音乐治疗师的自我效能和逆向转移管理能力之间的结构关系，以及音乐治疗师及其客户就他们在“引导影像和音乐”（GIM）中所感知的工作联盟而感知的治疗结果之间的结构关系。参加者有77位治疗师及其客户。我们的结果表明，治疗师的自我效能对其感知的治疗结果具有重大的直接影响，而对其感知的工作联盟则具有显着的直接和间接影响。其次，治疗师的自我效能感并没有直接影响客户感知的工作联盟，而是显着影响了治疗师的逆向转移管理能力所介导的工作联盟。第三，治疗师和客户感知的工作联盟对其感知的治疗结果具有重大影响。因此，对于治疗师和服务对象来说，治疗师工作联盟对治疗结果的影响是相似的。然而，客户感知的工作联盟对治疗师感知的治疗结果的影响相对低于其对客户感知的治疗结果的影响。因此，音乐治疗师的自我效能，逆向传递管理能力和工作联盟是调解GIM中治疗结果的关键变量。客户感知的工作联盟对治疗师感知的治疗结果的影响相对低于其对客户感知的治疗结果的影响。因此，音乐治疗师的自我效能，逆向传递管理能力和工作联盟是调解GIM中治疗结果的关键变量。客户感知的工作联盟对治疗师感知的治疗结果的影响相对低于其对客户感知的治疗结果的影响。因此，音乐治疗师的自我效能，逆向传递管理能力和工作联盟是调解GIM中治疗结果的关键变量。
