This study investigated the differences of therapeutic alliance by the respect of the child’s gender, age, and severity of problematic behavior. The subjects of the study were 150 child clients who are elementary school children from 1st and 6th grade including their parent and counselor. The counselor has career more than three years and they have certificate for professional counselor. The difference of therapeutic alliance gender was only revealed in child’s perception. Girls has more positive perception of sympathetic understanding and acceptance than boys. The difference of therapeutic alliance age was only revealed in counselor’s perception. The counselor reported that the younger children had more positive therapeutic alliance than the older children. The interactive effect is significant by age and severity of problematic behavior in child’s perception. Younger children who have lower severity of problematic behavior get more positive perception of therapeutic alliance. Older children who have higher severity of problematic behavior have more positive perception of therapeutic alliance. The interactive effect is not significant by gender and severity of problematic behavior in child’s and counselor’s perception of therapeutic alliance.
