In cross\u2010sectional analysis, we found a moderating effect of adherence with alliance on treatment outcome, indicating that the better the therapeutic alliance, the stronger the effect of adherence on treatment outcome. Moreover, higher therapists' competence was found to affect treatment outcome positively, only mediated by therapeutic alliance. Higher therapists' adherence affected treatment outcome positively, only mediated by the competence\u2013alliance relationship. In additional longitudinal analyses, we found evidence that the therapeutic alliance within one session influences therapists' adherence and competence in the subsequent session, but not the other way around.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Therapeutic alliance proved to be an important variable for the prediction of treatment failure. Furthermore, in our longitudinal analyses, we found evidence that the therapeutic alliance is a precondition for the adherent and competent implementation of therapeutic techniques, which questions the results of our cross\u2010sectional analysis and of previous research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Practitioner points<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical implications<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Treatment failure is associated with a lower therapeutic alliance in cognitive\u2010behavioural treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Therapeutic alliance seems to be an important precondition for the adherent and competent implementation of therapeutic techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Therapeutic alliance should be monitored during psychotherapeutic treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Cautions or limitations<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Results are limited to cognitive\u2010behavioural therapy and may not be representative for other treatment approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Process analyses are based on highly standardized randomized controlled trials and may not be generalizable to routine care.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/bjc.12063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,13]],"date-time":"2014-08-13T17:21:02Z","timestamp":1407950462000},"page":"91-108","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Treatment failure in cognitive\u2010behavioural therapy: Therapeutic alliance as a precondition for an adherent and competent implementation of techniques"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Florian","family":"Weck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Goethe\u2010University Frankfurt Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Grikscheit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Goethe\u2010University Frankfurt Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marion","family":"Jakob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Goethe\u2010University Frankfurt Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Volkmar","family":"H\u00f6fling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Goethe\u2010University Frankfurt Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"Stangier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Goethe\u2010University Frankfurt Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10503300802609680"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022\u2010006X.64.3.619"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0736\u20109735.25.3.461"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.20295"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","first-page":"23","article-title":"Der \u201cHelping Alliance Questionnaire\u201d (HAQ) von Luborsky [The \u201cHelping Alliance Questionnaire\u201d (HAQ) by Luborsky]","volume":"40","author":"Bassler M.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Psychotherapeut"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","volume-title":"Manual for the Beck Depression Inventory\u20102","author":"Beck A.
