Abstract: This study investigates therapist use of three different technologies as a mediator of therapeutic alliance in semi-structured initial interviews.The different technologies used were paper and pen, iPad, and a desktop computer.The Session Rating Scale Version 3.0 (SRS) was used to measure therapeutic alliance.Participants (n = 118) were recruited from a behavioral health service at a semi-rural primary care clinic and a community mental health clinic.A oneway ANOVA revealed no statistically significant difference between groups (primary care: F(2, 57) = .361,p = .699;community mental health: F(2, 55) = 2.254, p = .126),and the null hypothesis could not be rejected.Implications for practice and research are considered.
