Client Level of FunctioningClient versus Therapist Ratings Before and During Therapy
American University In this study, 22 therapists and 75 clients of a private outpatient clinic rated client fuctioning on five psychosocial dimensions at intake and three and six months after intake. Client and therapist ratings correlated poorly as a whole, mean r = .38, but were similar in average value before and at two periods during therapy (mean differences in overall ratings = .3, 2.0, and 2.1, respectively, on 20-level composite scales). Therapists seemed more conservative than clients in judging therapy effectiveness.
