| Sumario: | The use of information technology (IT) for the purpose of improving psychotherapy outcomes in the context of routine clinical practice is described. IT efforts from two research programs, one in Germany and the other in the United States, are based on evidence that not all patients who enter treatment have a positive outcome and that continuous monitoring of patient treatment response with immediate feedback to therapists can be used to increase the likelihood of success for the poorly responding client. Such monitoring and feedback can best be accomplished by IT methodologies. Sultable IT systems are described, and their strengths and limitations are highlighted. Evidence is presented that supports the positive value of such efforts for improving patient treatment response. Reprinted by permission of the publisher. |
