| Background: |
The therapeutic relationship is often acknowledged as one of the most significant factors in clinical process that influences client outcomes. |
|
Purpose:
|
While considerable research has been conducted on the therapeutic relationship in psychotherapy, there is a paucity of research on the impact of the therapeutic relationship in vocational rehabilitation counseling settings. |
|
Data collection and analysis:
|
This study explored the relationship between areas of client functioning (individual, interpersonal, social, and overall) and the therapeutic alliance among clients who receive services from the State vocational rehabilitation agency. |
|
Findings:
|
In this study, younger clients (ages between 16 to 29) reported stronger therapeutic alliance. |
|
Conclusions:
|
The findings of this study suggested that clients’ perceived individual, interpersonal and overall functioning have a significant positive relationship with the task and bond components of therapeutic relationship. |
