They’ve done studies that show the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the client has a stronger predictor of successful outcomes than the type of modality used.
Sure, they may be talking about common sense advice, but there is something else going on that affects the person on a different subconscious level.

How do you measure the "quality of the relationship"? It seems like whatever metric is used, it is likely to correlate with whatever is used to measure "successful outcomes".
