Abstract
This preliminary study aims to analyze the therapeutic alliance in a crosscultural triadic setting, where there is a therapist and a client who speak a different language but are able to interact thanks to an interpreter/cultural mediator. The participants' (therapists, clients, interpreters) representations associated with the notion of therapeutic alliance, and the level of alliance between each group was obtained and compared. Clients (N = 9) were all from Albanese origin. The results show that the three groups of participants give particular meanings to the alliance and tend to evaluate their alliance level differently. The interpreter's mediating role in the construction of the therapeutic alliance is discussed.
