Objective: There are presently no instruments available in German language to assess the therapeutic relationship in psychiatric care. This study validates the German version of the Scale to Assess the Therapeutic Relationship in Community Mental Health Care (D-STAR). Method: 460 persons with severe mental illness and 154 clinicians who had participated in a multicenter RCT testing a discharge planning intervention completed the D-STAR. Psychometric properties were established via item analysis, analyses of missing values, internal consistency, and confirmatory factor analysis. Furthermore, convergent validity was scrutinized via calculating correlations of the D-STAR scales with two measures of treatment satisfaction. Results: As in the original English version, fit indices of a 3-factor model of the therapeutic relationship were only moderate. However, the feasibility and internal consistency of the D-STAR was good, and correlations with other measures suggested reasonable convergent validity. Conclusions: The psychometric properties of the D-STAR are acceptable. Its use can be recommended in German-speaking countries to assess the therapeutic relationship in both routine care and research.

Mental Health Care Delivery

There have been a number of findings in the research on aftercare which have significance for courts and legislatures faced with choices involving planning and implementation of mental health systems. Both the older and newer methods of community mental health care delivery are analyzed. There appear to be cogent reasons for emphasizing the provision of aftercare facilities to poverty communities. Certain reasons for failures in aftercare treatment are identified. An analysis of the literature on aftercare indicates that there are certain elements important for the effective functioning of an aftercare system.
