The Construction of Therapeutic Alliance and Application of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Structural Family Therapy
Keywords:
communication, working in differences, therapeutic alliance, cognitive behavioural therapy, structural family therapy, applicationAbstract
Through a case study, this paper employs social work theories to analyze the significant factors in the helping process including the effective verb and non-verbal communication and working in differences that finally successfully promote the construction of therapeutic alliance. This paper also explores the application of cognitive behavioural therapy and structural family therapy, and demonstrates the combination of the theories and practice. It argues that the further research might focus on the integration of different therapy forms for the best therapeutic outcome.
