Because research suggests that counseling expectations are malleable and that alliance ratings predict clinical outcomes, the relationship between this pretreatment client characteristic (expectations) and the quality of the alliance early in treatment deserves further attention. This study examined the relationships between 57 clients' pretreatment role expectations and 3rd-session client-rated alliance in a naturalistic setting. Prior to intake, clients completed the Expectations About Counseling-Brief Form (H. E. A. Tinsley, 1982), and clients completed the Working Alliance Inventory-Short Form Revised (R. L. Hatcher & J. A. Gillaspy, 2006) following the 3rd therapy session. Results indicate that clients' expectations for personal commitment predicted the task, bond, and goal dimensions of the alliance. Expectations for facilitative conditions and counselor expertise did not predict clients' perceptions of the alliance. Clinical implications and research directions are discussed.

由于研究表明咨询期望具有可塑造性，并且联盟评级预测临床结果，因此在治疗早期，这种治疗前客户特征（期望）与联盟质量之间的关系值得进一步关注。本研究在自然环境中检查了 57 名客户的治疗前角色期望与第 3 次客户评定的联盟之间的关系。在摄入之前，客户完成了咨询期望简短形式（H. E. A. Tinsley，1982），并且在第 3 次治疗后，客户完成了工作联盟量表修订的简短形式（R. L. Hatcher 和 J. A. Gillaspy，2006）。结果表明，客户对个人承诺的期望预测了联盟的任务、纽带和目标维度。促进条件和辅导员专业知识的期望并不能预测客户对联盟的看法。讨论了临床意义和研究方向。（APA 记录（c）2010，保留所有权利）。
