Professor Bryce D. McLeod – How to Develop and Maintain the Alliance in Youth Psychotherapy Supported by Measurement Based Care (Part 1)
Building a strong alliance is essential in evidence-based practice with youth. The alliance is believed to be crucial in many evidence-based interventions for children because it helps increase child engagement in therapeutic activities and caregiver buy-in. Several strategies can be used to build a strong alliance with the youth and caregiver, including the use of measurement-based care. Measurement-based care, also known as routine outcome monitoring or progress feedback, is the use of ongoing assessment throughout treatment to support communication and clinical decision-making. In this talk, we (1) review the literature supporting the alliance, (2) outline key competencies that help clinicians develop and maintain a positive alliance with child and adolescent clients and their caregiver(s), (3) how these competencies are adapted for clients of different developmental stages and cultural backgrounds, and (4) how measurement based care can play an important role in the alliance building process.
Learning outcomes

2. Learners will be able to list key competencies associated with establishing and maintaining a strong alliance with children and caregivers
3. Learners will be able to identify how measurement-based care can help with alliance formation, goal setting, and treatment planning
