Studies show a strong correlation between the therapeutic alliance and positive client outcomes (Cameron et al., 2018; Sylvestre & Gobeil, 2020). Essential techniques for building rapport and trust include empathetic communication and reflective responding (Taylor, 2020; Harris & Panozzo, 2019). Additionally, engaging families in the therapeutic process has been shown to enhance client success (Skundberg-Kletthagen et al., 2020).
This course educates participants on the value of the therapeutic alliance in both individual and family work, while teaching effective communication skills to foster trust and rapport with clients and their families. Participants will learn techniques to engage family systems in therapy to improve treatment outcomes and gain tools to navigate challenging dynamics and build collaborative therapeutic relationships.
