“…The therapist's supportiveness is extremely important, as he or she serves as the role model in the group (Bernard et al, 2008;Yalom & Leszcz, 2005). Such behavior has been related to favorable outcomes of clients (Burlingame, Earnshaw et al, 2002;Burlingame, Fuhriman, & Johnson, 2002). Furthermore, non-supportive therapist behavior was found to be associated with negative outcomes and dropout (Bernard et al, 2008;Yalom & Leszcz, 2005).…”

“…Our own clinical work in this area has convinced us of the difficulty in tracking this patient population after discharge. More specifically, our earlier attempts at tracing these patients across a continuum of care (Burlingame et al, 2002) were hampered by a number of factors. For instance, the transient nature of this population makes it difficult to obtain meaningful serial measures of outcome.…”

The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) is the most commonly used outcome measure for the severely and persistently mentally ill (SPMI) population, possessing good interrater reliability, concurrent validity, and a strong factor structure. However, psychometric study of the extended version of the BPRS (the BPRS-E) is limited when compared with earlier versions (BPRS and BPRS-A). This study examined the item, factor, and diagnosis-specific sensitivity to change of the BPRS-E, the most recent version of this popular scale. Assessments were conducted at 90-day intervals with 201 adult psychiatric inpatients at the Utah State Hospital, yielding 786 symptom ratings. Of note was that ratings were conducted by independent assessors who were unaware of patients' treatment status. All but 2 of the 24 BPRS-E items, all 4 factors, and the total score were found to be sensitive to change when comparing patients' admission and discharge scores. Patient diagnosis was not associated with item, factor, or total score sensitivity to change. These findings extend the psychometric support for the BPRS-E and have implications for assessing outcome with the SPMI population.

“…Potential patients benefit from this because clinicians are armed with good data that allow them to tailor a treatment protocol. For instance, in some cases, it is clear that group treatment is the main treatment-the format of choice (Burlingame et al, 2002;Piper, Rosie, Joyce, & Azim, 1996;Taylor et al, 2001). In other cases, however, the combination of one format with another is more helpful to the patient.…”
