The question about whether or not a client should see a male or female therapist? Always plays on their mind because some clients strongly believe they should only see a same-sex or opposite-sex therapist when they go to psychotherapy. Yet research shows that the success of therapy doesn’t depend on the
therapist’s gender as much as people think, and in reality the therapeutic alliance is a lot more important. In this clinical psychology podcast episode,
you’ll look at why the gender of a therapist rarely matters, in what cases it could be important and why the therapeutic alliance is a lot more important for therapeutic success. If you enjoy clinical psychology, psychotherapy and learning more about therapists, you’ll love today’s episode.
