L'alliance thérapeutique est un facteur-clé d'efficience dans différentes formes de psychothérapies et pour différents types de patients : une bonne relation patient/thérapeute constitue la clef d'une psychothérapie réussie. Pourtant, ce concept reste flou pour beaucoup de praticiens alors que l'enjeu est crucial tant l'alliance contribue à l'efficacité des psychothérapies. Ce phénomène complexe est composé de quatre dimensions principales :- un lien affectif qui se tisse entre le patient et son thérapeute,- une relation de collaboration,- l'accord sur les objectifs et les tâches de la thérapie,- ainsi que la capacité à élucider les désaccords actuels pour maintenir le processus thérapeutique.Etablir une alliance thérapeutique est une compétence indispensable pour tout (futur) psychothérapeute qui retrouvera dans cet Aide-Mémoire les informations nécessaires à sa compréhension et à son application. En deux grandes parties, il propose :- les principales notions concernant les concepts, modèles théoriques et caractéristiques de l'alliance thérapeutique ;- ainsi que les notions déclinant les applications thérapeutiques selon les âges de la vie, le contexte de soins, le cadre thérapeutique et les troubles.

In this book, Dreier shows how clients make therapy work in their everyday lives. Therapy cannot fulfill its purpose until the clients can make it work outside the therapy room in relation to the concerns, people, and places of their everyday lives. Research on therapy has largely ignored these efforts. Based on session transcripts and interviews with a family of four about their everyday lives, Dreier shows the extensive and varied work the clients do to make their therapy work across places. Processes of change and learning are seen in a new perspective and it is shown that expert practices depend on how persons conduct their everyday lives. To grasp this, Dreier developed a theory of persons that is based on how they conduct their lives in social practice. This theory is grounded in critical psychology and social practice theory and is also relevant for understanding other expert practices such as education.

As every health care provider knows only too well, poor patient adherence to treatment is an enormous barrier to effective health care delivery. Promoting Treatment Adherence provides health care providers with a comprehensive set of information and strategies for understanding and promoting treatment adherence across a wide range of treatment types and clinical populations. The information is presented in a practical how-to manner, and is intended as a resource that practitioners can draw from to improve skills in promoting treatment adherence. To facilitate ease of use for the practitioner, the volume is divided into five targeted sections. In the first section, the reader is provided with a general overview of the primary issues in treatment adherence relevant to practitioners. The second presents specific guidelines for assessing rates of patient adherence, as well as for assessing patient readiness to adhere to treatment and for identifying and understanding specific barriers to adherence in individual patients. In the third section, detailed guidelines for the implementation of each of effective strategies and techniques for facilitating patient adherence to treatment are presented, including motivational interviewing, patient education, skills training, increasing resources and support, problems solving, and relapse prevention. The fourth and fifth sections provide guidelines for the application of the information and strategies discussed in the previous sections to promoting adherence to a variety of specific treatments and with a variety of specific patient populations, with an emphasis is discussing considerations and issues specific to each treatment and patient population. Where applicable, each of the chapters presents a case-example as well as suggestions for further reading.
