Increasing therapeutic alliance within speech and language therapy
What is it about?
This article highlights ways for SLPs and other rehabilitation providers to increase therapeutic alliance within their clinical practice. The benefits of strong therapeutic alliance are reported, as well as how therapeutic alliance is consistent with the rehabilitation treatment specification system.
Why is it important?
Often times research informs providers of interventions that are beneficial for patients. There is less emphasis on the "how to", especially as it relates to supporting/strengthening the therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is a key aspect in rehabilitation and treatment outcomes and should be considered an area of focus for treatments.
