Official title
Using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale (GAD-7) as Feedback Instruments in Brief Psychotherapy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will assess the effects of client feedback, using the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, on depression and anxiety in individuals undergoing brief psychotherapy. Client feedback allows therapists to monitor treatment progress in real time. Identifying an easily accessible treatment intervention, which utilizes commonly used scales, that potentially enhances the effect of brief psychotherapy and improves treatment outcomes is a valuable endeavor with clear implications for therapy practices. It is hypothesized that clients who complete these scales each session will show greater symptom improvement than clients who do not complete the scales.
