Glueckauf, Robert L.; Liss, Heidi J.; McQuillen, Diane E.; Webb, Pat M.; Dairaghi, Jeanne; Carter, Carol B.
American Journal of Family Therapy, v30n2 p125-40 Mar-Apr 2002
Adolescents (N=19) with epilepsy and their families assigned to either issue-specific single-family counseling (IFCM) or to a multi-family psychoeducational group (PG) were studied for problem improvement through therapeutic alliance. While no overall differences were found between IFCM and PG, IFCM adolescents reported significantly stronger alliances. Alliances seemed to correlate positively with therapy outcome for teens, but not for mothers. (JDM)
