Abstract
Interdependence theory is a cognitive model of interpersonal behavior that elucidates how interacting individuals have an effect on each other's behavior and affective states (Kelley & Thibaut, 1978). This model is adapted to the client-therapist relationship and illustrated as a method of facilitating rapport and producing congruent therapeutic goals. It is concluded that interdependence theory offers a framework for enhancing the relationship in directive cognitive-oriented therapies.
