contents Therapeutic alliance in two forms of guided self‐help for binge eating Paul E. Jenkins Shannon Wake Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy AbstractThe role of therapeutic alliance within psychological treatments for eating disorders (EDs), including those delivered remotely, is well established. However, few studies have investigated alliance in guided self‐help, a widely recommended first‐line treatment for EDs characterised by regular binge eating. Using data from a randomised controlled trial, the current study examined both facilitator and patient assessments of alliance within e‐mail‐assisted and face‐to‐face guided self‐help and looked at associations between alliance, ED symptoms and ED‐related impairment. One hundred thirteen patients and 11 facilitators completed measures of alliance during and following a course of guided self‐help. Whilst ratings were reliable across patients and facilitators, alliance scores were higher both in the patient sample and in the face‐to‐face condition. Ratings of alliance showed no correlations with ED symptoms at post‐treatment, and early alliance was not significantly associated with outcome, which could inform how early symptom change is encouraged in guided self‐help. 10.1002/cpp.2959 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
