“…Feedback from service users is necessary in order to conclude that collaboration is taking place. This relationship between collaboration and feedback was confirmed by Sundet (2011). In the study reported here, this was explicated through a set of conversational types: conversations targeting information from the client that can be fed back to the therapist, and the surplus conversations to which these tools give rise.…”

The aim of this qualitative study is to explicate how therapists describe and evaluate the use of two measures, the Session Rating Scale (SRS) and the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS), in order to monitor therapeutic work. Results confirm the feasibility of these scales as conversational tools although some difficulties and disturbances were identified in relation to both. The therapist perspective identified six conversational types. Two of these confirm use of the measures as tools for supplying feedback on process and outcome. In addition, four conversational types were identified that represented a surplus value for the therapist. The SRS and ORS and all of the conversational types they generated were seen as central components in creating and upholding collaboration between the families and their therapists.

“…There are currently efforts underway to determine how best to integrate feedback to guide psychotherapist practice (e.g., Lambert et al, 2001, 2002, Sundet, 2011; see Sundet, 2012 for a review) and to implement what is often referred to as “measurement-based care” in large community mental health centers (Lewis et al, 2015). For instance, humanistic psychotherapy research focused on the role of different types of session outcomes, such as a session’s helpfulness, depth and smoothness, as immediate feedback for therapists.…”

Objective Little attention has been paid to the nuanced and complex decisions made in the clinical session context and how these decisions influence therapy effectiveness. Despite decades of research on the dual-processing systems, it remains unclear when and how intuitive and analytical reasoning influence the direction of the clinical session. Method This paper puts forth a testable conceptual model, guided by an interdisciplinary integration of the literature, that posits that the clinical session context moderates the use of intuitive versus analytical reasoning. Results A synthesis of studies examining professional best practices in clinical decision-making, empirical evidence from clinical judgment research, and the application of decision science theories indicate that intuitive and analytical reasoning may have profoundly different impacts on clinical practice and outcomes. Conclusions The proposed model is discussed with respect to its implications for clinical practice and future research.

“…However, there remains a lack of research exploring client experiences of SDM in psychotherapy. Findings from one study are available from a grounded theory analysis of family psychotherapy in a Norwegian outpatient setting . Families reported that one helpful aspect of their treatment was having choice around the organization of the therapeutic work.…”

Mental health and general health care research has shown that practitioners can facilitate patient involvement in shared decision making (SDM) and that the approach can benefit patients who wish to take part in decisions around their care. Yet patient experiences of SDM within a psychotherapy context have been little researched. This study examined how clients experienced SDM in a collaborative‐integrative psychotherapy. A grounded theory approach used interpersonal process recall interviewing and supplementary semi‐structured interviews to investigate 14 clients' experiences of SDM in pluralistic psychotherapy for depression. Verbatim transcripts were coded into 819 meaning units across six categories containing 13 subcomponents that comprised a single, core category. The six categories were (a) experiencing decisions as shared, (b) psychotherapists supporting clients to become more active in the decision‐making process, (c) both parties presenting and recognizing expert knowledge, (d) clients felt recognized as an individual and accommodated for by their psychotherapist, (e) clients felt comfortable engaging with the decision‐making process, and (f) daunting for clients to be asked to take part in decision discussions. A core category emerged of “Psychotherapists encourage client participation and progressively support clients to provide information and contributions towards shared treatment decisions that could be led equally, or marginally more by one party.” Such support was particularly useful when clients had difficulty contributing as part of decision discussions. Client preferences for SDM change across clients and across decisions, highlighting the importance of practitioners remaining flexible to individual clients when using the approach.
