Abstract

Aim
The aim of this study was to verify the validity of the patient version of the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI-PC).

Method
The theoretical validity of the WAI-PC was experimentally estimated using the non-random change method proposed by Cronbach and Meehl.

Results
The results of the t-test showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups.

Conclusion
The study confirmed the validity of the WAI-PC as a tool for measuring alliance in adult psychotherapy.
