Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary outcome measure is the feasibility of the intervention as reported<br /><br>by participants (patients and practitioners) and by an observer present at the<br /><br>sessions. This is done on the basis of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire<br /><br>(CSQ, Larsen, Attkisson, Hargreaves, & Nguyen, 1979; Dutch translation: De<br /><br>Brey, 1983), which is administered to the practitioners after each session, the<br /><br>Helpful Aspects of Therapy form (HAT; Llewelyn et al., 1988; Eliott, 2012),<br /><br>which is administered to the patients after each session, the observations of<br /><br>adherence and treatment integ- rity at each session and the evaluation of the<br /><br>entire intervention afterwards (CSQ for both practitioners and patients).</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>A second outcome measure is the change in recovery based on the Mental Health<br /><br>Recovery Measure (MHRM, van Nieuwenhuizen et al., 2013, Young & Bullock, 2005).<br /><br><br /><br>A third outcome measure is the therapy course based on shared stories during<br /><br>the sessions and a qualitative analysis of the end product.</p><br>
