There are five types of psychotherapeutic alliances. Which type focuses on shared goals and an agreement to engage in certain tasks to achieve those goals?
  1. Transpersonal relationships
  2. I-You relationships
  3. Working alliances

Explanation
Answer: C - The working alliance focuses on shared goals and an agreement to engage in certain tasks to achieve those goals. Transpersonal relationships communicate to the client the sense of therapy as a shared journey leading to personal growth. I-You relationships emphasize immediacy and mutuality in the therapeutic relationship, with the clinician serving as a role model. Reparative relationships are most often used with severely damaged clients and offers re-parenting and nurturing in an effort to compensate for deprivation in an earlier relationship.
