	abstract = {This article aims to develop a model of the therapeutic alliance for psychotherapy guided by the concepts of\&nbsp;Loob, Pakikibahagi ng Loob,\&nbsp;and the framework offered by the Shared Reality Model. The conceptualization is anchored on data from a qualitative survey with 15 Filipino client-therapist dyads living in the Philippines. In the proposed model, client-therapist dynamics are viewed under two levels of analyses: (a) intrapersonal level (inner world or\&nbsp;katangiang panloob) {\textendash} that includes clients{\textquoteright} and therapists{\textquoteright} personality, values, and beliefs; (b) interpersonal level (relational world or\&nbsp;ugnayang panloob) {\textendash} that encapsulates the client-therapist relationship known as the therapeutic alliance. The model hypothesizes that a shared reality (pakikibahagi) in the form of shared inner world (pakikibahagi ng katangiang panloob) and shared relational world (pakikibahagi ng ugnayang panloob) contribute to psychological well-being. Implications for clinical practice, Sikolohiyang Pilipino theorizing, and directions for further research are explored in this paper.},
