French Validation of two brief Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) scales from the PCOMS system : the ORS (Outcome Rating Scale, Miller et al., 2005) designed to assess various dimensions of well-being and progression during care, and the SRS (Session Rating Scale 3.0; Miller et al., 2002) designed to assess dimensions of the therapeutic relationship. The research implied clinical and non clinical populations and brings estimates regarding factorial structure, validity, reliability, preliminary index and norms of the two scales in French.

Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) uses standardized measures to both track and inform mental health service delivery. Use of ROM has been shown to improve the outcome of psychotherapy when applied to different types of patients. The present research was designed to determine the reliability and validity of the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and the Session Rating Scale (SRS) in a sample of Spanish patients. After a controlled process of translation into the Spanish that is spoken and written in Spain (i.e., in Europe, as distinct from, e.g., Latin American Spanish), both measures were completed by patients of an outpatient mental health unit during eight sessions of psychotherapy. Sixty mental health patients filled out the ORS and 59 the SRS. In addition, the ORS was completed by 33 people who constituted the non-clinical sample. The cut-off of the ORS was 24.52 points, and the Reliable Change Index (RCI) was 9.15 points. ORS and SRS scores exhibited excellent internal consistency. The temporal stability of the SRS was adequate. The convergent and discriminant validity of the two measures were adequate. Regarding the factorial validity of the ORS and the SRS, in the third psychotherapy session, confirmatory factor analyses evidenced the existence of a unifactorial model. The predictive validity of SRS was acceptable. The ORS was sensitive to changes in patients’ symptoms. In conclusion, compared to the original English versions of the ORS and SRS measures, the Spanish versions of the measures are also reliable and valid.

Monitoring outcomes in psychotherapy is important for advancing research into empirically supported treatments, collecting data to inform practice-based evidence and for monitoring patient treatment responses during routine care. We implemented two routine outcome monitoring measures in a community psychology clinic in South Africa, namely, the Outcome Rating Scale and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale. In this article, we adopt a case study methodology to describe and critically reflect on the implementation process and evaluate the utility of the outcome data collected during the first year of implementation. Our findings suggest that the measures have some utility but that there were significant problems with implementation. We found that Outcome Rating Scale and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale scores correlated in the expected direction; however, Outcome Rating Scale intake scores for the present population were at odds with the measure’s norms. The findings highlight the care that needs to be taken to change routine clinical practice when outcome measures are implemented in local settings and the need for research to validate the use of these ROM measures in South African clinical settings.

Objective: To review the Hospital Outreach Post-suicidal Engagement (HOPE) service in the first six months of the pilot program in a metropolitan Melbourne setting, including a description of: (a) socio-demographic, health and psychosocial stressors of people referred; (b) method of presentation; (c) interventions provided and (d) outcomes measured. Method: A retrospective case file analysis reviewed the first six months of HOPE service operation. Results: Forty people received HOPE service during the study period, 60% female, mean age 35 years (range 17–58). The majority had previously engaged in self-harm (72.5%) or attempted suicide (67.5%). Stressors included social isolation, relationship breakdown, unemployment, financial stress, medical problems, history of mental illness, exposure to family violence and adverse childhood events. Statistically significant improvements occurred in the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and Session Rating Scale (SRS) following intervention. There were no deaths by suicide during the study period. Conclusion: People referred to HOPE had significant health and psychosocial stressors. Engagement significantly improved subjective well-being and connection with supports. Findings highlighted the need for an integrated clinical and psychosocial model to promote hope and connection in life post suicide attempt. It remains unclear which interventions improved well-being and if this contributes to suicide prevention.

This article describes the implementation and evaluation of a single-session therapy (SST) pilot project in a youth community-based mental health clinic. The intent was to improve access to therapy services in order to reduce wait times, support youth's and their caregivers’ functioning, relieve immediate distress and connect youth to resources while waiting for ongoing therapy. Wait times were reduced by 90 days when SST was implemented following intake. Caregivers reported clinically significant improvement in adolescent well-being at one-month follow-up using the Outcome Rating Scale. Clinicians embraced the implementation of SST as a complementary service to multisession therapy in the clinic setting.

Empirical Means

The therapeutic alliance is foundational to counseling practice and has amassed strong empirical support as being essential for successful counseling. Counselors generally rely on their own perspective when assessing the quality of the alliance, though the client's perspective has been found to be a better predictor of outcome. Formal methods for eliciting client feedback about the alliance and counseling outcomes have been strongly supported in the literature, yet such limitations as time constraints hinder counselor efforts to gather formal client feedback. Two ultra-brief measures of alliance and outcome, the Session Rating Scale and the Outcome Rating Scale, are feasible methods for counselors to secure client feedback. This article reviews the two measures and makes a case for using empirical means to understand adult clients' views of the therapeutic alliance.

The Relationship

Counseling practice and research seek to understand varied influences on clinical outcomes. Research has shown that feedback has an effect on clinician-rated measures and outcome. The present study assessed the relationship between feedback and outcome in individual psychotherapy, employing a repeated measures analysis of longitudinal archival data of 138 individuals receiving counseling services. A multiple regression model determined the relationship between client ratings of sessions and client ratings of overall outcomes. Although the sample was heterogeneous in nature and limited to one region, the results indicated a statistically significant relationship between feedback and outcome. These findings suggest that utilizing feedback from clients in individual counseling, in general, and consistently using the session rating scale and the outcome rating scale, in particular, can improve overall therapeutic outcome.
