Institute for Mental and Behavioral Health Research, Nationwide Children's Hospital and Department of Psychiatry, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA.
Objective: To develop and validate a very brief version of the 24-item Real Relationship Inventory-Client (RRI-C) form.
Method: Two independent samples of individual psychotherapy patients (= 700, = 434) completed the RRI-C along with other measures. Psychometric scale shortening involved exploratory factor analysis, item response theory analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and multigroup CFA.
A tripartite model of the psychotherapy relationship: Interrelations among its components and their unfolding across sessions.

The tripartite model of the therapy relationship, which includes the working alliance, real relationship, and transference-countertransference configuration, has been a useful way to conceptualize the complexity of the connection between a therapist and a client. However, little research has focused on the interrelationships between these three components over time. This study sought to replicate the findings of Bhatia and Gelso (2018) by examining the between-person relationships among each of the three elements averaged across all sessions.

Although there are theorized connections between client transference and their attachment to their therapists (Bowlby, 1969/1982), limited empirical research exists examining their association over the course of psychotherapy. We thus examined the association between positive and negative transference and client attachment to therapist across the course of open-ended psychodynamic psychotherapy for 49 cases with doctoral student therapists and adult community clients who had at least 32 sessions. Using a Bayesian multilevel structural equation model framework, results indicated that client secure attachment increased and avoidant-fearful attachment decreased across the course of psychotherapy.

Clients and therapists completed measures of the WA after every session and clients completed the ORS prior to every session. Clients also judged their therapists' CH at Session 3, 8, and then every 8th session.

Private Practice, Washington, DC, USA.
The topic of countertransference (CT) has been a controversial one over the decades, and its various, often conflicting, definitions have made it difficult to gather clear and consistent empirical evidence about the phenomenon. The growing awareness that CT occurs across theoretical orientations has fueled the need for research on CT, its effects, how it emerges in treatment, and how it can be used to enhance psychotherapy. In this paper, we reflect on three studies published in the special section on CT that we believe advance the field of CT research.
