Therapeutic Alliance. THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE. Therapeutic alliance refers to the mutual collaboration established between a psychoanalyst and a patient to overcome the neurotic or psychotic resistance that blocks change and the healing process.
The importance of the therapeutic alliance was further underscored with the advent of client-centred therapy. Rogers (1957) asserted that a therapist's warm and empathic stance, congruency, and ability to accept a client unconditionally were necessary and sufficient conditions for positive therapeutic outcome.
