The relationship between clients’ cognitive functioning and the therapeutic working alliance in post-acute brain injury rehabilitation
TLDR
The weakness of the correlations between cognitive tests and WA ratings may indicate that a good WA is achievable also with clients with severe cognitive difficulties.
It takes two to tango: The therapeutic alliance in community brain injury rehabilitation
TLDR
These pilot study results demonstrate the importance of the therapeutic alliance to the rehabilitation experience of individuals with TBI and those close to them.
Predictors of working alliance in cognitive behaviour therapy adapted for traumatic brain injury
TLDR
It is demonstrated that TBI associated cognitive impairments do not necessarily pose an obstacle to development and maintenance of a strong working alliance, which is more likely to develop with more time post-brain injury.
Predictors and impact of the working alliance in the neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients with multiple sclerosis
A scoping review of the working alliance in acquired brain injury rehabilitation
TLDR
Findings indicate that enhancement of the working alliance may indeed influence rehabilitation outcomes, and consideration of factors such as therapist skill, may support therapists to strengthen their alliances in ABI rehabilitation.
The Influence of the Therapist-Patient Relationship on Treatment Outcome in Physical Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review
TLDR
The alliance between therapist and patient appears to have a positive effect on treatment outcome in physical rehabilitation settings; however, more research is needed to determine the strength of this association.
Understanding the therapeutic alliance in stroke rehabilitation
TLDR
Establishing and maintaining a therapeutic alliance appears to be an individualised and complex process and a clinician’s ability to use their personal attributes therapeutically, and professional skills flexibly appeared integral to relationship quality.
Development and predictors of psychological adjustment during the course of community-based rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury: A preliminary study
TLDR
Good psychological adjustment was related to low levels of emotional distress and a small discrepancy between current and aspired functional status and poor functional status had a more minor impact on psychological adjustment in individuals with poor self-awareness than in Individuals with high levels of self- awareness.

TLDR
Positive therapeutic alliance ratings between physical therapists and patients are associated with improvements of outcomes in LBP.
The experiences of complicated-mild to severe traumatic brain injury survivors in counselling

The development of the therapeutic working alliance, patients’ awareness and their compliance during the process of brain injury rehabilitation
TLDR
Clients’ experience of their emotional bond with their therapist added as much to the prediction of clients’ awareness as the localization of their brain injury in the process of brain injury rehabilitation.
Working alliance and patient compliance in brain injury rehabilitation and their relation to psychosocial outcome
TLDR
Employment and physical activity at follow up of 98 patients who underwent a holistic neuropsychological outpatient rehabilitation programme were examined in relation to therapeutic process factors to indicate that employment and physical activities are differentially predictable from different process measures rated from different professional perspectives.
Patient compliance in brain injury rehabilitation in relation to awareness and cognitive and physical improvement
TLDR
The results suggest a differential relationship between situation-specific compliance and outcome of brain injury rehabilitation.
Productivity after neuropsychologically oriented milieu rehabilitation
TLDR
The proposition that specialty neurorehabilitation programs aimed at work reentry may be helpful in a selected group of TBI patients is supported.
A review of awareness interventions in brain injury rehabilitation
TLDR
A review of the literature identified a range of awareness interventions that include holistic milieu-oriented neuropsychological programmes, psychotherapy, compensatory and facilitatory approaches, structured experiences, direct feedback, videotaped feedback, confrontational techniques, cognitive therapy, group therapy, game formats and behavioural intervention.
Subjective experience in patients with brain injury and their close relatives before and after a rehabilitation programme
TLDR
It is shown that patient symptoms, and the impact of these on close relatives, may be broadly reduced, but perhaps not eliminated, as a result of neuropsychological rehabilitation.

Impaired Awareness of Deficits and Treatment Adherence Among People With Traumatic Brain Injury or Spinal Cord Injury
TLDR
The results confirm IAD's link to treatment adherence, and support the observation that IAD is a common clinical feature of brain injury that should be carefully considered when making prognoses and developing and applying interventions with this population.

Subjective experience in brain-injured patients and their close relatives: a European Brain Injury Questionnaire study.
TLDR
It is concluded that the questionnaire has an acceptable reliability and validity, but that it will be necessary to obtain culturally relevant non-brain-injured control data when employing it in different countries.
