• The relationship between working alliance and client outcomes in coaching: A meta-analysis (2020, methodology): “The moderate magnitude of the relationship that we found in this meta-analysis matches the moderate effect sizes reported in meta-analyses in other helping relationships, such as in psychotherapy (Horvath et al., 2011; Martin et al., 2000) or mentoring (Eby et al., 2013).”
• Autonomous motivation for therapy: A new common factor in brief treatments for depression (2007, background): “Although the pervasive influence of the therapeutic alliance has been frequently noted, insufficient attention has been devoted to the modest size of the effects (Martin, Garske, & Davis, 2000 ), which leaves much variance in outcome unexplained.”
• A review of therapist characteristics and techniques positively impacting the therapeutic alliance. (2003, background): “Since the alliance has already been established as one of the essential variables in a positive treatment outcome (Horvath & Symonds, 1991; Martin et al., 2000), knowing the key components that help to build a healthy alliance may lead to even more positive outcomes and increased opportunities for…”
• Quality of Object Relations and Security of Attachment as Predictors of Early Therapeutic Alliance. (2007, methodology): “In the present study, only patient ratings were used because they have been found to be the most predictive of outcome (Martin et al., 2000).”
• Online CBT in the Treatment of Child and Adolescent Anxiety Disorders: Issues in the Development of BRAVE–ONLINE and Two Case Illustrations (2008, background): “The quality of the therapeutic alliance has consistently been found to predict more effective psychological treatment outcome and to be associated with higher levels of treatment compliance and lower levels of treatment drop-out (see Howgego, Yellowlees, Owen, Meldrum and Dark, 2003; Martin, Garske”
• Therapist Adherence/Competence and Treatment Outcome: A Meta-Analytic Review (2010, methodology): “This approach has also been employed in quantitative reviews of alliance–outcome relations (Horvath & Symonds, 1991; Martin et al., 2000), allowing for informative comparisons of the present findings with findings from meta-analyses of alliance–outcome studies.”
• Social bonds and posttraumatic stress disorder. (2008, background): “A substantial empirical literature has identified that the therapeutic alliance is the most consistent predictor of psychotherapy outcome, although the relationship is often modest in size, with effect sizes ranging from 0.22 to 0.24 (Horvath & Symonds 1991, Martin et al. 2000).”
