This study investigated the hypothesis that the setting of explicit time-limits in individual counseling enhances the formation of the therapeutic alliance. Students at a university-based counseling center were randomly assigned to a 5-session, time-limited therapy condition (n = 16) or a time-unlimited therapy condition (n = 15). Contrary to the hypothesis, statistical analyses showed no differences between audiotaped segments from the second and third therapy sessions rated on the Vanderbilt Therapeutic Alliance Scale.
本研究对个体咨询中设定明确的时间限制会增强治疗联盟形成这一假设进行了调查。一所大学咨询中心的学生被随机分配到一个为期5节的限时治疗组（n = 16）或不限时治疗组（n = 15）。与假设相反，统计分析表明，根据范德比尔特治疗联盟量表对第二次和第三次治疗会话的录音片段进行评分，结果并无差异。
