Psychology / psicoanalisi - alleanza terapeutica
English term or phrase: prior symptom change is accounted for
However, whatever way the therapeutic alliance comes about and whatever other factors it is
an effect of, it also likely operates as a causal agent itself, both indirectly,
by facilitating the positive effects of other therapeutic interventions, and
directly, by influencing therapeutic outcome. The latter simply reflects the
plausible assumption that a sense of collaboration, an affective bond, and
a feeling of being on the same track as one’s therapist are likely not only to
make the patient more receptive to other interventions but also themselves
to represent new healing experiences. Indeed, there is some evidence, in at
least in some studies, that even when prior symptom change is accounted
for, strength of therapeutic alliance still significantly predicts outcome
(Barber, Connolly, Crits-Christoph, Gladis, & Siqueland, 2000).

Non riesco bene a capire che cosa si intenta qui per "accounted for". Non mi sembra si possa rendere semplicemente con "tenuto in
considerazione" o "spiegato".

precedente comprovata variazione sintomatologica


Explanation:
Io la leggo invece così:
... pur ove sia comprovata/sussista/in presenza di una variazione sintomatologica precedente è possibile anticiparne l'esito grazie all'efficacia dell'alleanza terapeutica. (loose transl.)

Interpreto "accounted for" come "the reason why something exists or happens" (cf. MacMillan Dict.).

Mi pare ci sia un refuso nella frase: "Indeed, there is some evidence, in at least in some studies,..." (il primo "in" non dovrebbe esserci).

Ciao, D.! Sì, appunto. L'alleanza terapeutica è in grado di garantire il buon esito rispetto a una variazione sintom. preesistente.

Asker: già il rufuso, non me ne neanche accora! Mi sa che la tua creatività interpretativa ti ha portato un po' fuori strada:-( Qui si parla dell'intensità dell'alleanza terapeutica come fattore predittivo dell'esisto del trattamento. Ciauz!
