Among high-QOR (or mature) cases, the patient's expectancy of being able to contribute to the treatment process was inversely associated with change in the patient-rated alliance. For those with low QOR (more primitive object relations), congruence of expectancies regarding a supportive therapist role was directly associated with change in the therapist-rated alliance.
