The research team involved in this program defined therapeutic collaboration as the therapist and client joint work within the client's therapeutic zone of proximal development. It developed the therapeutic collaboration coding system (TCCS) to analyze de therapeutic collaboration trajectories throughout the therapy process and its contributions to client¿s change (Ribeiro et al., 2013). TCCS is considered a transtheoretical observational coding system empirically validated and used in research studies with different therapy approaches and outcomes. This research program aims: 1) to identify patterns of (non)productive therapeutic collaboration trajectories throughout the therapy process, 2) to understand the relation between in-session therapeutic collaboration with other dyadic micro-processes such as appropriate responsiveness or psychophysiological synchrony and, 3) to analyze which types of collaborative therapeutic exchanges better predict the therapeutic alliance development and client¿s change process.
