“…Some studies employed dichotomous responses (Driscoll et al, 1985;Simonian et al, 1993) another used a seven point scale (Furst et al, 1993) although the majority used four or five points. Although Driscoll et al (1985) and Simonian et al (1993) justified their use of dichotomous answers to their questionnaire because their sample included preschool aged children, many of the studies with five point ratings included children as young as five or six years (e.g.…”

“…There is more evidence on discriminant validity of satisfaction questionnaires from mental health services (Kirigin et al, 1982;Solnick et al, 1981;Stüntzner-Gibson et al, 1995). Furst et al (1993) also reported a significant increase in client satisfaction following staff training in a children's psychiatric hospital. Since the majority of questionnaires collected data on different service personnel it is unfortunate that so few presented data on differences in children's evaluations of those personnel in order to support the discriminant validity of their instrument.…”

“…The services included 'teaching-family' homes for young offenders (Kirigin et al, 1982;Solnick et al 1981), psychiatric inpatients (Furst et al, 1993;Kazdin et al, 1987), outpatients of psychiatric departments (Loff, Trigg & Cassels, 1987) and community based services (Rosen et al, 1994;Shapiro, Welker & Jacobson, 1997Stüntzner-Gibson, Koren & DeChillo, 1995.…”

“…The internal consistency of the instrument is not reported but test-retest reliability was high. Very similar dimensions of staff behaviour were measured by Furst et al (1993) who used a 14 item questionnaire to evaluate client satisfaction before and after a staff training programme. Unfortunately they provide no information on the psychometric properties of the instrument.…”

In recent years there has been a growing interest in methods of eliciting children's views on factors influencing their lives. When children's views are sought it is important that this is done in a developmentally appropriate manner with instruments whose psychometric properties are known. The present review describes a variety of methods that have been used to evaluate children's satisfaction with services in education, paediatrics and mental health. The majority of the studies used self-completion questionnaires and provided only limited information on reliability. Means of establishing reliability and validity in research with children are discussed, as are the variables that have been found to correlate with child satisfaction.

“…A range of studies has attempted to measure children's satisfaction with mental health services, both inpatient and outpatient (Furst et al, 1993;Rosen, Heckman, Carro, & Burchard, 1994;Shapiro, Welker, & Jacobsen, 1997). Other studies have asked parents to rate their children's level of satisfaction with and liking for the service (e.g.…”

A B S T R A C T Children's views as service users are being increasingly sought and valued. A pictorial critical incident technique was developed to gain insights into the perceptions and experiences of children and young people (n = 30, ages 5-15 years) attending a child and adolescent outpatient mental health service for the first time. The methodology proved effective in eliciting children's views, both positive and negative. Findings show age differences in clients' anxieties about attending. The degree to which children and young people felt involved in the process of assessment also varied with age. In general, children and young people felt more positive when leaving the clinic compared with when they first arrived. Salient aspects of the initial visit emerged which may not have been tapped using a questionnaire or rating scale. Findings are discussed in the context of service delivery issues and the development of child-focused preparatory information.

There has been a significant expansion of secure psychiatric service provision in the UK, but little discussion about the most appropriate principles on which to base these services. There is longstanding tension between security and treatment that can be difficult to resolve. Solution‐focused ideas may provide a bridge between these two issues, by improving multi‐disciplinary working and providing an appropriate relationship style that optimises the delivery of care to forensic patients.
