The OQ®-45.2 TA is a new measure which includes the OQ®-45.2 and 11 questions from the OQ®-ASC about the Therapeutic Alliance.

The goal of the 11 Therapeutic Alliance questions is to assess your client’s perception of the relationship between you and your client.

While it may be reassuring to know that clients have very positive feelings about their relationship with you, it is more helpful in a problem-solving mode to identify ruptures in the relationship and move to repair them.

The OQ®-45.2 TA is available in English and Spanish with the OQ®-Analyst software.

A product of over two decades of research by Dr. Michael Lambert, the OQ®-45.2 is a self-report Outcome Measure designed for repeated measurement of client progress while in therapy and following termination.

The OQ®-45.2 measures three subscales:

• Symptom Distress (depression and anxiety)
• Interpersonal Relationships (loneliness, conflict with others and marriage and family difficulties)
• Social Role (difficulties in the workplace, school or home duties)

You can use the subscale scores to identify and target particularly problematic areas as a focus of treatment.
