Les symptômes du trouble du spectre autistique peuvent influencer l'alliance en psychothérapie. Cette
étude a examiné l'alliance thérapeutique et sa relation avec les
caractéristiques de l'enfant et les résultats du traitement de l'anxiété
chez les jeunes atteints d'un trouble du spectre de l'autisme.
Les données suggèrent que l'alliance thérapeutique peut ne pas être
altérée chez les jeunes anxieux avec un diagnostic de trouble du spectre
de l'autisme et peuvent être associées aux résultats du traitement.

Abstract
Symptoms of autism spectrum disorder
may influence alliance in psychotherapy. This study examined
therapeutic alliance and its relationship with child characteristics and
anxiety treatment outcomes in youth with autism spectrum disorder. Youth ( N = 64) with autism spectrum disorder
and co-occurring anxiety (7-16 years, IQ > 70) received 16 sessions
of modular cognitive-behavioral therapy. Post-treatment therapist, youth
and parent ratings of alliance as well as pre- and post-treatment
ratings of child behavior were gathered. Ratings of alliance were
commensurate to ratings seen in children without autism spectrum disorder.
Measures of treatment outcome, but not pretreatment characteristics,
were significantly associated with therapist ratings of alliance
strength. Data suggest that therapeutic alliance may not be impaired in
anxious youth with autism spectrum disorder and may be associated with treatment outcome.
