The therapeutic alliance as a predictor of outcome in dialectical behavior therapy versus nonbehavioral psychotherapy by experts for borderline personality disorder.
Overview
This randomized controlled trial examines how client- and therapist-rated therapeutic alliance predicts outcomes such as suicide attempts and self-injury in women with borderline personality disorder receiving either dialectical behavior therapy or community treatment by experts. The study reports that while client ratings of commitment correlated with reduced suicidal behavior in DBT, therapist alliance ratings predicted decreased suicide attempts across both treatments but increased self-injury in the comparison group. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the differential impact of alliance facets on behavioral outcomes within these specific psychotherapeutic contexts.
