36 circumstance, the area of client’s emotions, moods and feelings is ignored and the client can’t find his/her role or place, feeling abandoned, fact that can determine the frustration or revolt, with a direct echo on the therapeutic relation. The therapeutic relationship sometimes degenerates because of an unconscious feeling of guilt, which is constantly felt by the client and due to it he/she has the tendency to disturb the therapy by “negative therapeutic reactions” becoming non-coopering and symptomatic [6]. In psychic disorders where the patient is often Borderline, this continuous fight between the idealization and the negation of the therapist, this unfavourable fact reverberates on the therapeutic relation. Also, behaviour patterns of some personality disorders often include the tendency or the person/client’s need to self-sabotage, disturbing therapy, turning this against him/her. He/she accumulates fury, which he/she will try to vent on the persons who injured him/her and who recreated in the person of the therapist now, in therapy [3]. Other clients, who suffered abandonment, will virulently react towards the therapist when this one decides and announces them s/he will take a short holiday. The remedial therapeutic relationship is threatened in this case and quite frequently such clients interrupt therapy [7]. Other ways by which both client and therapist can determine – with or without their will – a tensioned relationship in therapy, by an impercipient communication, non-concordant to the requests of therapy, can have many aspects as such: a kind of the therapist’s inability of understanding the client in his/her problems and needs or an insufficient understanding of the problem; the lack of therapist authenticity or a discrepancy at the attachment level both therapist and client; the identification in the client – by the therapist – of some past figures, without being aware of this, followed by an attitude according to the one that the therapist had it towards that figure; the therapist’s judgements and prejudices - also not being aware of them, but put in the therapy frame can provoke the client, affecting both the relationship and the therapeutic process; a non-understanding or ignoring of the client’s immediate needs or directions that can affect these needs, an insufficient patience in listening and embracing the client; a wrong approach, non-adequate to the client’s problem, in the therapeutic intervention or one that can’t reverberate with the inside universe of the client; the fact of not setting the limits from therapist side, by prolonging the relationship from the therapeutic frame out of the private office’s door, reducing this way the therapy’s efficiency and transforming the therapeutic relationship in a different one; the therapist’s manipulation by the client. An alteration of therapist-client connection can be also linked to ethic, deontological, social aspects, which were neglected or ignored; the lack of a certain therapist authority towards the client, letting the therapeutic process at the client’s will; defective modalities of connecting or communication between the two.
