Ruptures can be seen as potential change events in therapy that can result in positive or negative consequences for the therapeutic alliance and treatment outcome, depending on how, or it; they are successfully resolved. If the therapeutic alliance is to withstand die inevitable ruptures that occur, therapists need to be able to detect and effectively manage ruptures. Only a limited number of studies have researched in detail the actual process of rupture resolution in psychotherapy. This study is validation-oriented and aims to test an empirical model of rupture resolution (Bennett et al. (2006) Refined Performance Model) used in cognitive analytic therapy (CAT). It does so by examining the occurrence of ruptures in selected good and poor evaluation sessions and the interventions of CAT therapists in their attempts to resolve ruptures, among an adolescent client group at risk of developing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
