The relationship between the therapeutic alliance and clinical outcomes in cognitive behaviour therapy for adults with depression: A meta-analytic review

Open access

Abstract

Research consistently provides evidence for the relationship between the therapeutic alliance (TA) and outcome across various therapies and presenting problems. Depression is considered the leading cause of disability worldwide, and there is substantial evidence for the efficacy for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in its treatment. At present, there is lack of clarity specifically about the relationship between the TA and outcome in CBT for depression. The present review is the first meta‐analytic review to explore this relationship and also considering moderators. Within a random‐effects model, an overall mean effect size of r = 0.26 (95% CI [.19–.32]) was found, indicating that the TA was moderately related to outcome in CBT for depression. The mean TA–outcome correlation is consistent with existing meta‐analysis that looked across a broad range of presenting problems and psychological therapies. A secondary exploratory analysis of moderators suggested the TA–outcome relationship varied according to the TA rater, where the relationship was weaker for therapist raters compared with clients and observer raters. Additionally, the results indicated that the TA–outcome relationship marginally increased over the course of CBT treatment. The results of the meta‐analysis are discussed in reference to the wider body of research, methodological limitations, clinical implications, and future directions for research.

TL;DR

This first meta-analytic review of the therapeutic alliance (TA) and outcome in CBT for adult depression found a moderate overall TA–outcome correlation of r = 0.26 (95% CI .19–.32) across 13 studies. Exploratory moderator analyses suggested the relationship was weaker for therapist-rated TA and marginally stronger later in treatment.

Key findings

  • Across 13 studies conducted between 1989 and 2015, with sample sizes from n = 21 to n = 128 and study correlations from r = 0.06 to r = 0.59, the overall mean TA–outcome correlation was r = 0.26 (95% CI .19–.32).
  • Effect sizes were homogeneous (Q = 9.66, df = 13, p = 0.646; I² = 0%), and Orwin’s failsafe N indicated 155 null-result studies would be needed to reduce the correlation to r < 0.01.
  • In exploratory moderator analyses, TA–outcome correlations were r = 0.21 (95% CI .12–.31) for early, r = 0.28 (95% CI .11–.43) for mid, r = 0.27 (95% CI .13–.40) for late, and r = 0.42 (95% CI .22–.59) for average time points; the average-time-point estimate had high heterogeneity (I² = 70.5%).
  • By TA rater, correlations were r = 0.27 (95% CI .19–.36) for client, r = 0.19 (95% CI .03–.33) for therapist, and r = 0.41 (95% CI .22–.58) for observer ratings; the observer estimate had higher heterogeneity (I² = 54.7%).

Methods

  • Systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis of correlational studies reporting a TA–outcome relationship in individual, face-to-face CBT for adults (18+) with depression as the main target and depressive symptoms as the primary outcome.
  • Electronic database searches (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus to December 2015) plus author, journal, reference, ProQuest, and Google Scholar searches yielded 13 included papers after screening and exclusion of shared datasets.
  • One independent effect size per study was entered into Comprehensive Meta-Analysis; effect sizes were coded as positive correlations, with mean effect sizes calculated when studies reported multiple measures, raters, or time points. Moderator analyses used disaggregated effect sizes for TA time point and rater, weighted by original sample size.

Limitations

  • The paper states that synthesizing partial correlations is a limitation because partial correlations may inflate magnitude or alter direction, though it was done to control for prior depression severity.
  • The paper states that moderator analyses broke the meta-analytic assumption of independent effect sizes, did not test significance between groupings, and had small, unbalanced rater subgroups: client n = 9, therapist n = 4, observer n = 4.
  • The paper cautions that the “average” time-point and observer-rater findings had higher heterogeneity (I² = 70.5% and 54.7%, respectively), so those results should be interpreted more cautiously.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Average time-point subgroup is counted as both eight and four

    Minor

    The results text assigns eight effect sizes to the average time-point subgroup, whereas Table 2 assigns it four. Four also makes the time-point subgroup counts sum to the stated total of 23.

  • Average time-point confidence interval differs between text and table

    Minor

    The results text gives the lower 95% confidence limit as .22, while Table 2 gives .23 for the same mean effect size.

  • Homogeneity test has the wrong degrees of freedom

    Minor

    The analysis includes 13 independent effect sizes, so the Q test has 13 − 1 = 12 degrees of freedom, not 13.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
