Abstract (Swedish)
The present study examined the relationship between perceived speechtime,

The aim was to investigate if there were any gender differences in therapeutic alliance and if male clients needed to rate themselves as having more perceived speech-time than female clients in order to remain in therapy. A quantitative method was used as well as questionnaires. SPSS was used to analyse the data. Participants consisted of twenty-one coupes from three different family therapy clinics. Results showed that there was no relationship between perceived speech-time and alliance. A difference between alliance and gender was on the other hand found. Males were more likely to rate themselves as having a good alliance with the therapist than were females. The present study provides us with a better theoretical understanding of why people leave therapy. To reduce attrition rates it may be important for therapists to focus more on
creating a good alliance with female clients than with male clients, as
well as to consider any gender differences in the therapeutic process. (Less)
