- This study examines clinicians’ knowledge, or lack of knowledge, in regards to skills that can expedite the emotional bond construct of the therapeutic alliance (TA). Specifically, it examines clinicians’ awareness of how shared affective experiences may be indicative of both positive and negative emotional inner experiences. Knowledge of this shared affective experience may be utilized to further deepen assessments in order to strengthen the bond construct within the TA. This examination of the clinician’s knowledge is crucial so that clinicians can be helped to swiftly develop trust within the clinical dyad. Roos and Werbart, (2013) add “the dyadic nature of the therapeutic relationship is seldom acknowledged in research on dropout, and there is a scarcity of studies that include therapist relationship and process factors” (p. 396). Therefore, it is not only vital to assist clinicians in developing trust in the, at times, arduous and lengthy process of sound and successful clinical care, but also to combat the growing trend of shortened length of stay (LOS) in clinical care allocated by organized paying parties. Mental health professionals in the field report “reimbursement is inconsistent and depends on state laws, private payers, technology type, and a number of other variables”. This fact has resounding negative implications to not only those who have insurance that can accommodate the high price of clinical care, but also marginalizes the populations who have neither insurance nor funding necessary to receive clinical care. Thus, there is a need to promote skills that may increase and expedite the integrity, production, and breadth of the TA, enhance the client’s satisfaction and success with clinical care, and furthermore advance the integrity of the mental health industry.
