Abstract
It was hypothesized that members of an older cohort of seriously menta lly ill community mental health clients would develop stronger allianc es with intensive case managers. Eighty-six clients participating in a study of case management services completed a measure of working alli ance and structured interviews. It was found that older cohort clients , those age 45 or older, showed much stronger alliances with their cas e managers than younger clients.
