本文报告的第一个经验性的尝试，分析“神圣的时刻”在治疗师与客户的关系，以及他们的客户端，供应商和治疗联盟的影响。在第一项研究中，来自一所大型医学院的58名心理健康提供者完成了一项调查，要求他们描述过去一年中与客户合作的重要时刻。然后，他们回答了以下问题：（a）他们在多大程度上将神圣品质归因于重要时刻;（B）这些时刻神圣性的预测因素;（c）这些时刻对客户、提供者和治疗联盟的后果。超过一半的供应商（55.5%）表示，他们在治疗中的重要时刻是神圣的。对神圣时刻的感知与更大的感知客户收益、治疗关系收益、提供者收益和工作动机密切相关。这些发现在第二项研究中得到了很大程度的重复，该研究涉及519名在过去一年中接受过心理健康治疗的客户。治疗中的神圣时刻是一种潜在的重要资源，可能有助于提供者，客户和治疗关系的福祉。更一般地说，这些调查结果指出了关注提供者和客户之间关系的精神层面的价值。
This article reports on the first empirical attempt to analyze "sacred moments" in the therapist-client relationship, and their implications for the client, the provider, and the therapeutic alliance. In the first study, 58 mental health providers from a large school of medicine completed a survey that asked them to describe an important moment in their work with a client over the past year. They then responded to questions about (a) the degree to which they attributed sacred qualities to the important moment; (b) predictors of the sacredness of these moments; and (c) consequences of these moments for the client, provider, and therapeutic alliance. More than half of providers (55.5%) indicated that their important moment in treatment was sacred. Perceptions of the sacredness of the moment were strongly correlated with greater perceived client gains, therapeutic relationship gains, provider gains, and work motivation. These findings were largely replicated in a second study of 519 clients who had been in mental health treatment during the past year. Sacred moments in treatment represent a potentially important resource that may contribute to the well-being of providers, clients, and the therapeutic relationship. More generally, these findings point to the value of attending to the spiritual dimension of the relationship between providers and clients.
