Research has demonstrated that a strong therapeutic alliance is necessary to establish beneficial contact between therapist and client. If the therapist does not encourage the creation of a reliable therapeutic alliance from the beginning of treatment, it will be difficult to develop a constructive relationship with the client later. Establishing the therapeutic alliance will increase the chances of achieving the treatment goal because clients will be willing to cooperate if they trust and respect the therapist. Clients are not likely to cooperate with therapists who aggressively impose their authority. Instead of imposing their authority on the patient, therapists should develop work with their patients by building a mutual relationship based on trust, understanding and respect for the client. According to Jeremy Safran and Christopher Muran (2000), psychiatric research shows that the quality of the therapeutic alliance's existence is the most important factor in determining the therapist's success. “Some therapists are consistently more helpful than others; differences in therapist abilities appear to be more important than therapeutic modalities, and more helpful therapists appear better able to facilitate the development of a therapeutic alliance” (Safran & Muran, 2000). However, the main problem is that it is difficult to teach the skills needed to create a therapeutic alliance. Indeed, research in psychotherapy highlights the importance of the development of human qualities in the therapist. According to Safran and Muran (2000), the therapist needs to constantly develop himself and be involved in his personal growth through inner work. Without this feature, therapists will not be able to develop...... middle of paper ......eating with their therapists. “A systematic relationship between therapists' personal reactions to the patient and the quality of their communication, diagnostic impressions, and treatment plans” (Horvath & Greenberg, ). While positive attitudes on the part of therapists are more likely to result in successful treatment, negative attitudes will not develop the necessary cooperation on the part of the client to successfully achieve the goal of therapy. Regardless of the treatment method, scientific research findings highlight the importance of relational treatment that works on trust and openness. All researchers affirm that the development of a strong therapeutic alliance at the beginning influences the course of treatment and its success. Developing this type of relationship with patients early will improve therapists' chances of success..
