Below is the link to an article on Psychology Today written by Laurie Meyers. In this article, Meyers discusses some relevant findings by Psychotherapist Carl Rogers and the fact that many studies since then support Rogers same findings, "a strong therapeutic alliance was more closely correlated with positive client outcomes than any specific treatment interventions."
Meyers also quotes therapist Jeffrey Kottler who says, "[Obviously] in many cases, clients need a lot more than feeling understood or enjoying the benefits of being in a respectful, facilitative alliance,” he adds. “Yet without the foundation of a constructive relationship, anything else that we do isn’t going to work very well or last very long.”
