Unlike manualized treatments, RCT is a counseling theory and worldview about clients’ and counselors’ relational worlds, power in social contexts, and nuanced interpersonal connections. Although the BRCTM showed great promise for guidelines and counseling processes that followed RCT principles, there is a need for more outcome and comparative studies to evaluate the effectiveness of RCT-based interventions. Nevertheless, research undoubtedly shows that the counseling relationship, creative adaptations of evidence-based practices, and counselor relational abilities are the most robust predictors of client change (Wampold, 2015). With this in mind, RCT provides a road map for effective relationships that honor and respect clients from diverse backgrounds.
