The therapeutic effects of providing patient progress information to therapists and patients

Hawkins, Eric J., Lambert, Michael J., Vermeersch, Dave A., Slade, Kärstin L., Tuttle, Kenneth C.·2004·Psychotherapy Research

Abstract

Patient-focused research systems have been developed to monitor and inform therapists of patients' treatment progress in psychotherapy as a method of enhancing outcome. The current study examined the effects of providing treatment progress information to only therapists and to both patients and therapists during the course of psychotherapy. Outpatients (N = 201) at a hospital-based psychotherapy clinic were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups: treatment as usual, therapist feedback, and patient–therapist feedback. Patients in the 2 feedback conditions demonstrated significantly greater improvement at termination than those in the treatment-as-usual condition, with no average increase in sessions attended. These findings suggest that providing feedback to patients and therapists may be a viable approach to enhancing patient outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
