研究概览
简要总结
This study will assess the effects of client feedback, using the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, on depression and anxiety in individuals undergoing brief psychotherapy. Client feedback allows therapists to monitor treatment progress in real time. Identifying an easily accessible treatment intervention, which utilizes commonly used scales, that potentially enhances the effect of brief psychotherapy and improves treatment outcomes is a valuable endeavor with clear implications for therapy practices. It is hypothesized that clients who complete these scales each session will show greater symptom improvement than clients who do not complete the scales.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
Clients will complete symptom and quality of life scales before their first session and before their last or tenth session, whichever occurs first. Clients will not complete any scales during other sessions.
Continuous Client Feedback
Clients will complete symptom and quality of life scales before their first session and before their last or tenth session, whichever occurs first. Clients will then complete symptoms scales, specifically the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale before each other session. The treating clinician will review and discuss their results and at the beginning of each session.
干预措施: Continuous Client Feedback (Behavioral)
Continuous Self Feedback
Clients will complete symptom and quality of life scales before their first session and before their last or tenth session, whichever occurs first. Clients will then complete symptoms scales, specifically the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale before each other session. The treating clinician will not have access to these results.
干预措施: Continuous Self Feedback (Behavioral)
