Therapeutic Alliance Scale
The Therapeutic Alliance Scale (THAS) is a clinician-rated measure of the quality of the therapeutic relationship and working alliance, developed by Raue, Goldfried, and Barkham. Distinct from client-rated measures like the Working Alliance Inventory, the THAS captures the therapist's perception of goal alignment, task agreement, and emotional bond. It is used primarily in research to examine alliance from the therapist perspective and to understand therapist–client congruence in alliance perception.
