The Development and Decay of the Working Alliance during Time-Limited Counselling.

Horvath, Adam O.; Marx, Ronald W.

Canadian Journal of Counselling, v24 n4 p240-59 Oct 1990

Examined time limited (10 sessions) counseling treatments to explore history of working alliance over time. Two counselors working with four clients reported similar patterns of working alliance development. Initial development phase of working relationship appeared to be followed by period when relationship decays, but it appeared that the working alliances were repaired during the final sessions.
