Change in Working Alliance, Social Support, and Psychological Symptoms in Brief Therapy.

Mallinckrodt, Brent

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v43 n4 p448-55 Oct 1996

Clients in brief therapy (N=34) completed measures of social support and psychological symptoms. Path analysis suggests that improvement in the working alliance was significantly related to improvement in social support and that improvement in social support was significantly related to symptom reduction. The working alliance appears indirectly connected to symptom reduction. (RJM)
