The therapeutic relationship is known as the most reliable predictor of positive outcome in psychotherapy. In this livestream, Mark will be discussing a range of research findings relating to best-practice in establishing and strengthening the working alliance and reliable methods of reducing premature termination/ drop-out from therapy.

Mark discussed some of his research findings about TA and depression and explored some ways of understanding and working with depression using TA theory.

In this interview, Mark will talk through some of the findings from his research on the outcome of TA Psychotherapy for depression, which demonstrate that TA can be an effective therapy for depression.

Mark’s vision is for TA to be recognised as an evidence-based therapy by 2020, he is also looking forward to talking about a systematic research strategy for the TA community and a series of small-project research ideas which can be taken forward to build the evidence base for TA therapy.

In this workshop, Mark presented the findings of his research on the outcome of TA Psychotherapy for depression, which demonstrate that TA can be an effective therapy for depression, and will demonstrate a method of conducting case study research, which is accessible yet rigorous.
