Ruptures in the therapeutic alliance are common clinical experiences. If left unresolved, they often lead patients to drop out and to other poor outcomes. As a therapist and patient work together, their alliance can come under strain, often because of disagreements in how to work together and toward what goals or due to a lack of trust and respect. These moments of stress, where the relationship has ruptured, are challenges but also opportunities for growth. Repairing these ruptures is an important change process that is relevant for all therapies. This volume collects the work of 12 teams of scholars and clinicians, each expert in a different therapeutic context or theoretical approach, to describe clinical challenges that resonate with readers' own experiences. The authors use case studies to describe realistic, complex clinical examples of rupture and provide strategies and principles therapists can readily integrate into their work to help them navigate these challenges more successfully with their patients.
All psychotherapists experience alliance ruptures, and we all want more skills to help us repair them. This volume can help. Edited by the leading researchers and thinkers on the topic, it offers accounts of alliance rupture and repair from the point of view of multiple psychotherapy modalities, along with vivid transcripts of clinical examples that bring the material to life. --Jacqueline B. Persons, PhD, Oakland Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center, Oakland, CA; Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, United States Ruptures in the therapeutic alliance are common in all psychotherapies. This book provides informative examples of ruptures and highly detailed methods of rupture repair in many different forms of psychotherapy. --Arnold Winston, MD, Professor Emeritus, Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Health System and Chairman Emeritus, Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY, United States; Professor & Associate Chairman, St. George' s School of Medicine, Grenada, West Indies We all experience ruptures in our work with clients and need help figuring out how to repair them. The contributors to this well-written book provide evidence-based clinical wisdom to help us all manage these messy, "wicked," interpersonal events. Must reading for therapists at all levels of experience. --Clara E. Hill, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, MD, United States
