A good clinician (and coaches) have a knack for connecting with people, also known as “therapeutic alliance” or rapport/making a connection. 🤝
It’s the trust and willingness of two parties to work together towards a common goal.🎯
Research shows that trust leads to adherence, progress, and lasting change. Which is a great predictor for treatment outcomes. Over 80 years ago, a model known as “common factors model”, suggested that contextual factors lend themselves to treatment efficacy. These contextual factors are what are known as “non-specific effects”.
These effects include but are not limited to, trust, empathy, patience, genuine interest, attentiveness, and making a meaningful connection. These factors in conjunction with a thorough history and comprehensive assessment lead to a powerful and dynamic goal-orientated alliance.🏆
Never underestimate the importance of a sincere connection towards a partnership with all of your patients in order to reach the desired and mutual goal. 💪
