dc.description.abstractThe real relationship and working alliance are considered sister concepts, because, even though they are distinct elements of the therapeutic relationship, they seem to be highly interrelated, especially regarding the bond element of the relationship. Both concepts are considered to contribute significantly to the therapy outcomes, but some questions remain regarding their relationship, similarities, and conceptual differences. The present study aimed to examine the association of real relationship and working alliance across studies and analyze their contribution to treatment success. For this purpose, we conducted a meta-analysis on these two constructs and performed a quantitative analysis to differentiate the contribution of real relationship and working alliance for psychotherapy outcomes. Results from the meta-analysis confirmed the theorized association between real relationship and working alliance, revealing an overall correlation of r = .66. Based on our quantitative analysis, real relationship seems to be as good a predictor as the working alliance, although both benefit from each other. The research findings underline the importance of considering the contribution of these two concepts for therapeutic outcomes. Therapists should pay attention to both real relationship and the working alliance as key factors that improve therapy success.pt_PT
