UNASSIGNED: Therapeutic alliance has been considered an important factor in @entity1 psychotherapy and is consistently associated with positive outcomes. Nevertheless, research on alliance in the context of @entity1 @entity130 therapy is very scarce. This study examined the relationships between @entity1 therapeutic alliance and psychopathology in an empirically supported @entity1 @entity130 therapy model designed to address issues related to @entity130 with @entity1 and their caregivers. Specifically, we examined the extent to which the @entity1 's psychopathology would predict the establishment of a positive alliance early in treatment, as well as the association between alliance and outcome. @entity1 were 95 @entity1 between the ages of 7 and 12 and their caregivers, who went through a community-based @entity130 -Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program in Canada. Caregivers filled out the CBCL prior to assessment and following treatment. @entity1 and therapists completed an alliance measure (TASC) at three time points throughout treatment. Symptomatology and @entity1 gender emerged as important factors predicting alliance at the beginning of treatment. @entity1 and internalizing @entity1 developed stronger alliances early in treatment. In addition, a strong early alliance emerged as a significant predictor of improvement in internalizing symptoms at the end of treatment. Our findings indicate that symptomatology and gender influence the development of a strong alliance in @entity130 therapy. We suggest that clinicians should adjust therapeutic style to better engage @entity1 and highly externalizing @entity1 in the early stages of therapy.
