This study examined predictive relations between therapeutic alliance and treatment outcomes in manual-guided, cognitive-behavioral therapy for adolescent depression. Fifty-four adolescents met criteria for a depressive disorder and were treated in school-based clinics. Alliance was measured after the third session from both therapist and adolescent perspectives, and change in depressive symptoms was assessed by structured interview and self-report. Two models of alliance–outcome relations were assessed, one direct and one through treatment participation. Results showed significant associations between adolescent-reported alliance and change in depressive symptoms, even after controlling for number of sessions completed. Therapist-reported alliance was only marginally related to outcomes but was predictive of number of sessions completed. On average, alliance showed a modest relation with outcomes (r= .26). Results are discussed in the context of differential alliance–outcome relations in prior studies of cognitive-behavioral compared to nonbehavioral therapy with children and adolescents.
