Terapötik Mevcudiyet Envanteri’nin Türkçe uyarlamasının geçerlik ve güvenilirlik çalışması
Reliability and validity study of the Turkish form of the Therapist Presence Inventory

Summary/Abstract: Within the scope of this study, the client and therapist forms of the Therapist Presence Inventory were adapted into Turkish. For this purpose, data were collected and analyzed from clients and therapists after the sessions conducted by therapist candidates who continued their psychotherapy training. Demographic information form, client and therapist forms of the Therapist Presence Inventory, and client and therapist forms of the Working Alliance Inventory - Short Form were used. A total of 245 sessions' data from 35 clients and 11 therapists were collected. Exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency analysis, correlation, and regression analyses were conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the inventory. As a result of the analyses, it was decided that removing one item from the client form was appropriate. The internal consistency value of the two-item client form of the Therapist Presence Inventory was .85. The internal consistency value of the twenty-one-item therapist form was .93. Findings support the original single factor structure. Considering the internal consistency values of the inventory and its relationship with other scales and sub-scales, it was evaluated as a valid and reliable tool that can be used in the field of psychotherapy research and practice.
