TY - JOUR AU - Horton, Ayana AU - Hebson, Gail AU - Holman, David PY - 2021 DA - 2021/01/28 TI - A longitudinal study of the turning points and trajectories of therapeutic relationship development in occupational and physical therapy JO - BMC Health Services Research SP - 97 VL - 21 IS - 1 AB - The importance of the therapeutic relationship is widely recognised across healthcare professions. Despite the importance of therapeutic relationships, there are significant gaps in the knowledge base on how these relationships develop. To address these gaps, this study explores relationship dynamics by identifying relational turning points and trajectories in therapeutic relationships between occupational therapists and physical therapists and their patients. The implications for how a focus on these relational aspects can enhance clinical practice will be discussed.
