Abstract
ABSTRACT Outcome studies in psychotherapy research have indicated the importance of the therapeutic alliance independent of the therapeutic orientation. However, because of the multiple demands placed on beginning therapists and their supervisors, the therapeutic relationship is often neglected during supervision, often with problematic results. This article proposes that for beginning therapists, clinical supervisors must take into account the supervisory alliance as a means of helping therapists learn to develop their therapeutic alliances. Using ego-analytic theory as a guide to supervision, the authors underscore how to develop this alliance in an effective manner. Specific suggestions and case examples are given to highlight this trans-theoretical approach.
