Building an Explicit Therapeutic Alliance

About the training

Build a shared working structure that supports clinical direction, genuine participation, feedback, and disagreement.

What you will work on

• Distinguish therapeutic alliance from rapport, warmth, and trust.
• Clarify responsibilities, clinical purpose, feedback, and how disagreement will be used.
• Calibrate explicitness and challenge to what a client can presently use.
• Distinguish genuine agreement from compliance and revise the work when collaboration falters.

Audience and participation

For clinicians across orientations who want a more explicit structure for collaboration. Participant materials included. Live attendance only; no continuing education credits are available. Reduced community mental health rates are available by request.
