U. Hentschel et al., CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE, INTERNALIZED PARENT AL IMAGES AND THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE IN RELATION TO THERAPY SUCCESS, Zeitschrift fur Psycho-somatische Medizin und Psychoanalyse, 43(4), 1997, pp. 334-348
The attempt was made to find by means of a multivariate analysis the r
elations between therapy success, objective stress factors in childhoo
d, internalized parental images and therapeutic alliance. Using 126 pa
tients from the Berlin Psychotherapy Study a relational pattern for th
e four sets of variables was found which could be interpreted in a mea
ningful way and thus be used as a starting point for further therapy-d
irected applications.
