“…While this is not necessarily indicative of a negative outcome, it is notable that almost half are discharged having attended one session only (IAPT, ; Richards & Borglin, ). Other evidence finds wide variability in stepped‐care modelling between services (Clark et al, ; Glover et al, ; Richards et al, ), little discrimination in condition severity between low‐ and high‐intensity interventions (Bower et al, ; Chan & Adams, ), highly complex cases including those with personality disorders being referred, assessed and treated (Goddard, Wingrove, & Moran, ; Hepgul et al, ), poor to variable rates of stepping‐up (Clark et al, ; Delgadillo, Gellatly, & Stephenson‐Bellwood, ; Richards et al, ), moderate rates of re‐referral (Cairns, ; Hepgul et al, ) and poor durability of low‐intensity treatments beyond 1 year (Ali et al, ). These findings suggest that referrals might not be receiving adequate treatment initially or during the course of treatment.…”
