Description

A rating scale designed to measure the working alliance between counselors and their clients during therapy sessions. Both counselors and clients complete different versions of the inventory. The scales are designed to yield three measures: Goal (whether the client and therapist agree on goals of treatment); Task (whether they agree on how to achieve those goals); and Bond (whether they will be able to or have already established a personal bond with each other).
