Abstract

Monitoring the therapeutic alliance throughout treatment can improve client outcomes and lead to improved care. The individual, couple, and family versions of the intersession alliance measure (IAM) were developed to facilitate routine monitoring of the expanded therapeutic alliance. Psychometric properties of the three versions of the IAM were examined using a clinical sample. Participants were drawn from clinics in the United States participating in the Marriage and Family Therapy Practice Research Network. Using this sample, results indicate that items on each version of the IAM load on one factor, are invariant across sex, and that each version has good internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and concurrent validity. The IAM-C and IAM-F also have good predictive validity, while the IAM-I has more limited evidence for its predictive validity. These results suggest that the IAMs are valid and reliable measures that can facilitate the routine monitoring of the expanded therapeutic alliance in psychotherapy.

会期联盟测量法的验证：个人、情侣和家庭版本

在整个治疗过程中对治疗联盟进行监控，可以提高客户的治疗效果，从而改善护理工作。我们开发了个人、夫妻和家庭版的疗程间联盟测量（IAM），以方便对扩大的治疗联盟进行常规监测。我们使用临床样本对三个版本的 IAM 的心理计量特性进行了检验。参与者来自美国参加婚姻与家庭治疗实践研究网络的诊所。使用该样本的结果表明，每个版本的 IAM 上的项目都有一个因子负荷，并且在不同性别间具有不变性，而且每个版本都具有良好的内部一致性、测试再测可靠性和并发有效性。IAM-C 和 IAM-F 也具有良好的预测效度，而 IAM-I 的预测效度证据则较为有限。这些结果表明，IAMs 是有效可靠的测量方法，有助于对心理治疗中的扩大治疗联盟进行常规监测。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
