Reports the retraction of "Therapist-client agreement about their working alliance: Associations with attachment styles" by Seini O'Connor, Dennis M. Kivlighan Jr., Clara E. Hill and Charles J. Gelso (Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2019[Jan], Vol 66[1], 83-93). The following article (https://doi.org/10.1037/cou0000303) is being retracted. This retraction is at the request of coauthors Kivlighan, Hill, and Gelso after the results of an investigation by the University of Maryland Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB found that the study included data from between one and four therapy clients of the Maryland Psychotherapy Clinic and Research Laboratory (MPCRL) who either had not been asked to provide consent or had withdrawn consent for their data to be included in the research. O'Connor was not responsible for obtaining and verifying participant consent but agreed to the retraction of this article (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2018-38517-001.) Recent research on attachment in therapy indicates that therapist attachment style is related to therapists' agreement with their clients on the quality of their working alliance (WA; Kivlighan & Marmarosh, 2016). This study builds on these findings by examining how both the therapist's and the client's attachment style may be related to their agreement on the WA. The authors expected that less anxious and less avoidant clients working with less anxious and less avoidant therapists would have higher WA agreement. Using hierarchical linear modeling, they analyzed archival session data from 158 clients and 27 therapists at a community clinic. In terms of overall level agreement (averaged across sessions), therapists and clients significantly disagreed on their WA ratings, with therapists rating the WA lower than did their clients; but there was more therapist-client level-agreement when therapists had relatively less attachment avoidance. In terms of (linear) WA agreement from session to session, the authors found no main effects for either therapist or client attachment style alone, but several significant interactions between therapist and client attachment styles. Session-to-session agreement on the WA was higher when clients and therapist had "matching" (both higher or both lower in attachment anxiety or attachment avoidance) or "complementary" (one higher in attachment avoidance, the other lower in attachment anxiety, or one higher in attachment anxiety, the other lower in attachment avoidance) attachment styles than when styles were noncomplementary. The authors discuss these findings in terms of the attachment-related communication, signaling, and behavior that may be occurring in therapy dyads.

奥康纳等人撤回。（2019）。

报告撤回了 Seini O'Connor、Dennis M. Kivlighan Jr.、Clara E. Hill 和 Charles J. Gelso 撰写的《治疗师与来访者关于工作联盟的协议：与依恋风格的关联》（《咨询心理学杂志》，2019 年 [1 月]，第 66 卷[1]，83-93）。以下文章（https://doi.org/10.1037/cou0000303）已被撤回。此次撤回是应合著者 Kivlighan、Hill 和 Gelso 在马里兰大学机构审查委员会 (IRB) 调查结果出来后的要求。IRB 发现，该研究包含来自马里兰州心理治疗诊所和研究实验室 (MPCRL) 的一到四名治疗客户的数据，这些客户要么没有被要求提供同意，要么已经撤回了将其数据纳入研究的同意。奥康纳不负责获取和验证参与者的同意，但同意撤回本文（原文章的以下摘要出现在记录 2018-38517-001 中。）最近关于治疗依恋的研究表明，治疗师依恋风格是与治疗师与客户就工作联盟质量达成的协议有关（WA；Kivlighan & Marmarosh，2016）。本研究以这些发现为基础，研究了治疗师和来访者的依恋风格与他们对 WA 的同意有何关系。作者预计，与较少焦虑和较少回避的治疗师合作的较少焦虑和较少回避的客户将获得更高的 WA 一致性。使用分层线性模型，他们分析了社区诊所 158 名客户和 27 名治疗师的档案会话数据。就总体水平一致性（各疗程的平均值）而言，治疗师和客户对他们的 WA 评级存在明显分歧，治疗师对 WA 的评级低于客户的评级；但当治疗师的依恋回避相对较少时，治疗师与来访者之间的协议就会更多。就每次会议的（线性）WA协议而言，作者发现治疗师或客户依恋风格本身并没有主要影响，但治疗师和客户依恋风格之间存在一些重要的相互作用。当来访者和治疗师的依恋风格“匹配”（依恋焦虑或依恋回避都较高或较低）或“互补”（一个依恋回避较高，另一个依恋焦虑较低，或一个依恋焦虑较高，另一个依恋回避较低）时，与风格非互补时相比，WA的会话间一致性更高。作者从治疗二人组中可能发生的依恋相关的沟通、信号传导和行为方面讨论了这些发现。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。作者从治疗二人组中可能发生的依恋相关的沟通、信号传导和行为方面讨论了这些发现。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。作者从治疗二人组中可能发生的依恋相关的沟通、信号传导和行为方面讨论了这些发现。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
