Abstract
This paper explores four types of splits in couple therapy alliance - discrepancies where one spouse's rating of an aspect of alliance (alliance with therapist, alliance with spouse, or spouse's alliance with therapist) was discrepant with the other spouse's rating. The prevalence of these splits were described, using a treatment-as-usual sample. There was a great deal of variability in the degree of split both between couples and within couples across sessions. Correlation analyses showed differences between the four types of splits. Implications for research connecting split alliance to therapeutic outcome are explored.
