The Significance of the Therapeutic Relationship to Rehabilitation

This study explores the views and experiences of clients and therapists in intensive medical rehabilitation on the quality factors of therapy and the impact of case handover on the implementation of therapy and the therapeutic relationship. This multi-perspective study collects data through surveys and interviews with rehabilitation clients and therapists. The study was launched in 2019.

Furthermore, the study examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the implementation of individual therapy in outpatient care. In the survey, we asked rehabilitation clients and service providers about their views on the implementation of individual therapy during the pandemic and about their experiences with telerehabilitation.
