Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the therapeutic alliance (the relationship between the therapist and patient) is one of the most important factors in the effectiveness of therapy, and the patient's sense of being understood by the therapist is an important aspect of the therapeutic alliance. The therapist's theoretical orientation and school of training may also play a role in effectiveness, but to a lesser degree than the therapeutic alliance.
