Abstract

Currently there are many studies devoted to research on the significance of therapist's variables during the psychotherapy process and outcomes. After many years with a patient's psychopathological properties and the specific techniques of intervention as a principal variables researched, nowadays we know that the therapist is a one of the protagonists in the therapeutic process and, in recent years, several researchers have been studying it (Corbella, 2008; Hill, 2007). This paper raises some items of the psychotherapy research like Therapist's Personal Style and Therapeutic Alliance and their relationship between psycotherapy and psychopedagogy.
