This article reports the study of the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Therapeutic Presence Inventory (TPI). The internal consistency and temporal stability of the scores are examined in a sample of mental health professionals in Argentina. Method: A non-probabilistic and voluntary sampling of 252 psychologists and psychiatrists was used. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, instrumental-type study was designed. Results: the results indicate an adequate internal consistency of the items equal to .78 and a test-retest stability, equal to .67. The factorial analysis carried out indicates the existence of three factors. Conclusion: The scale has adequate properties for use in the Argentine population
