Reports the retraction of "The within-client alliance-outcome relationship: A response surface analysis" by Justin W. Hillman, Yun Lu, Dennis M. Kivlighan Jr. and Clara E. Hill (Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2022[Nov], Vol 69[6], 812-822). The following article (https://doi.org/10.1037/cou0000630) is being retracted. This retraction is at the request of coauthors Kivlighan and Hill after the results of an investigation by the University of Maryland Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB found that the study included data from between one and four therapy clients of the Maryland Psychotherapy Clinic and Research Laboratory (MPCRL) who either had not been asked to provide consent or had withdrawn consent for their data to be included in the research. Hillman and Lu were not responsible for obtaining and verifying participant consent but agreed to the retraction of this article. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2022-91968-001.) The authors examined how stability/change in working alliance predicted subsequent symptoms, and how stability/change in symptoms predicted subsequent alliance in a sample of 188 adult clients with 44 doctoral student therapists over the course of 893 eight-session time periods of individual psychodynamic psychotherapy. Clients completed the Working Alliance Inventory-Short Revised (WAI-SR; Hatcher & Gillaspy, 2006) after every session and the Outcome Questionnaire-45 (OQ; Lambert et al., 1996) before intake and every eighth session. The authors used multilevel polynomial regression and response surface analyses to examine within-client effects. The authors found that change in the alliance across an eight-session period did not have an immediate temporal effect on symptoms, but when alliance was stable and stronger compared to other periods, subsequent symptoms were lower. Similarly, change in symptoms across an eight-session period did not have an immediate temporal effect on alliance, but when symptoms were stable and lower compared to other periods, subsequent alliance was stronger. These results suggest that sustained improvements in the alliance contribute to subsequent symptom improvements, and vice versa. The authors conclude that it is important to work to improve and maintain improvements in the working alliance and symptoms. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Hillman 等人撤回。 （2022）。


报告撤回 Justin W. Hillman、Yun Lu、Dennis M. Kivlighan Jr. 和 Clara E. Hill 撰写的“客户内部联盟-结果关系：响应面分析”（《咨询心理学杂志》，2022 年[11 月]，第 69 卷[6]，812-822）。以下文章（https://doi.org/10.1037/cou0000630）已被撤回。此次撤回是应合著者 Kivlighan 和 Hill 在马里兰大学机构审查委员会 (IRB) 调查结果出来后的要求。 IRB 发现，该研究包含来自马里兰州心理治疗诊所和研究实验室 (MPCRL) 的一到四名治疗客户的数据，这些客户要么没有被要求提供同意，要么已经撤回了将其数据纳入研究的同意。 Hillman 和 Lu 不负责获取和验证参与者的同意，但同意撤回本文。 （原文章的以下摘要出现在记录 2022-91968-001 中。）作者以 188 名成年客户为样本，研究了工作联盟的稳定性/变化如何预测后续症状，以及症状的稳定性/变化如何预测后续症状。 44 名博士生治疗师在 893 个八个疗程的个人心理动力学心理治疗过程中进行了治疗。客户在每次治疗后完成工作联盟短期修订清单（WAI-SR；Hatcher & Gillaspy，2006），并在就诊前和每八次治疗前完成结果问卷 45（OQ；Lambert 等人，1996）。作者使用多级多项式回归和响应面分析来检查客户内的影响。 作者发现，八个会话期间联盟的变化不会对症状产生立即的时间影响，但当联盟与其他时期相比稳定且更强时，随后的症状会较低。同样，八个疗程期间症状的变化不会对联盟产生直接的时间影响，但当症状稳定且与其他时期相比较低时，随后的联盟会更强。这些结果表明，联盟的持续改善有助于随后的症状改善，反之亦然。作者的结论是，努力改善和维持工作联盟和症状的改善非常重要。讨论了局限性和未来的方向。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
