Can we agree we just had a rupture? Patient-therapist congruence on ruptures and its effects on outcome in brief relational therapy versus cognitive-behavioral therapy.

ABSTRACT: To draw clinically meaningful evidence-supported implications about the alliance-outcome association, recent studies have investigated patient-therapist congruence on ruptures in alliance. The present study investigated patient-therapist congruence on ruptures and its consequences on subsequent session outcome in 2 types of treatments that differ in the training therapists receive to identify ruptures: brief relational therapy (BRT), in which therapists receive alliance-focused training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), in which no training specifically focused on the alliance is provided. We implemented polynomial regression and response surface analysis, and the truth and bias model on data of 162 dyads reporting weekly on their levels of ruptures, for 30 sessions, during either C
