Cognitive psychotherapy: what happens when the therapeutic relationship breaks down?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
Behavioural and interpersonal difficulties arising during the course of cognitive psychotherapy are common and they provide unique opportunities to assess and modify patients' beliefs and assumptions. A breakdown in the therapeutic relationship may be on a continuum from a simple misunderstanding to a more chronic and complex problem. It may act as a potent vehicle for change in the patient, but may also precipitate change in the therapist who is also part of that relationship which can influence treatment outcome.
