A therapeutic relationship is known as the interaction between an occupational therapist and a client. This type of relationship involves
helping the client achieve their desired goals. It is more about the client in
this type of relationship than yourself. Having a good relationship with a
client has a huge benefit in the OT process and success of intervention and
treatment. Trust is key factor in developing a successful therapeutic
relationship. If the client trusts the occupational therapy practitioner, they
will more likely open up and feel comfortable with sharing personal information
that may shape the intervention process. OTs try several different techniques
to strengthen therapeutic relationships: empathy, verbal communication, active
listening, empowerment, or nonverbal communication.
