| Summary: | The authors investigated 3 dimensions of the working alliance—goal, task, and bond—and the reduction of negative career-related thoughts. A pretest–posttest design revealed a significant reduction in negative career thoughts after an initial career counseling interview was provided to college students (N = 87). Regression analyses revealed that task predicted negative career thoughts. The findings offer evidence of the effectiveness of career counseling and of the contribution of working alliance to counseling as a process and outcome variable. © 2018 by the National Career Development Association.
