Abstract
While there is general agreement in the literature regarding the importance of the therapeutic alliance in psychological interventions with people, the forensic context raises some unique challenges. This paper will discuss the significance of the therapeutic alliance in interventions with offenders, especially sexual offenders and the impact on treatment efficacy and change. Therapist characteristics will also be reviewed as well as some of the obstacles and challenges present in a correctional setting, which can impact on the therapeutic alliance. Lastly, the role of transference and countertransference is also considered.
