This article reviews and synthesizes the diverse contributions of the authors in this issue of in Session: Psychotherapy in Practice.

We then present an additional perspective on the resolution of therapeutic alliance ruptures, emerging out or our own research program. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
