我们研究了64名父母的治疗联盟，他们在一项名为家庭帮助的儿科心理和行为干预研究中与非专业电话教练完成了治疗。平均总工作联盟量表评分为242.7（95%置信区间[CI]：240.2，245.2）。总的来说，无论教练/父母的年龄或性别、社会经济阶层/父母的教育水平、儿童心理健康障碍的严重程度或类型或治疗方式如何，总分都非常高。结果与其他研究报告的规范性数据进行了比较，这表明距离治疗联盟得分至少与面对面治疗联盟得分相似。本研究提供的证据表明，一个强大的，积极的治疗联盟可以存在于没有面对面的接触，使用非专业的电话教练。
We examined the therapeutic alliance in 64 parents who completed treatment with a non-professional telephone coach in a paediatric psychosocial and behavioural intervention study called Family Help. The mean total Working Alliance Inventory score was 242.7 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 240.2, 245.2). Overall, the total scores were very high regardless of coach/parental age or gender, socioeconomic class/educational level of the parent, severity or type of the child's mental health disorder or modality of treatment delivery. The results were compared with normative data reported from other studies, which suggested that the distance therapeutic alliance scores were at least similar to face-to-face therapeutic alliance scores. The present study provides evidence that a strong, positive therapeutic alliance can exist in the absence of face-to-face contact using nonprofessional telephone coaches.
