"A solid patient-therapist relationship is a crucible of wellness. And the path out of depression begins with a compatible therapist." - Ellen McGrath

In this article, McGrath focuses mainly on a client with depression as to their reason for being in therapy. A couple key points mentioned by McGrath are:

"One of the most helpful elements in recovery is the quality of the relationship with the therapy professional and how consistent and trustworthy the connection remains between client and therapist."

"The patient-therapist relationship is generally representative of the nature of all other relationships you have, and so learning to resolve problems while maintaining connection provides skills that are widely applicable. To experience conflict with a therapist and learn to resolve it is often the path out of depression."
