  1. Utilizing Patient Feedback (and Therapist Civility)to Improve Psychotherapy Outcome Dan Buccino JHBMC JHUSOMBPI June 27, 2006

  2. Civility and Healthcare • Through the 20th Century, science has opened the body. • Into the 21st Century, civility will reopen the person. • To do even better science. • Pro-civility practice and policies

  3. Civility and Therapy • Good therapists born not made? = • Good manners come from a good heart. • Good therapists made not born? = • Good heart comes from good manners. • Legislating civility and public health? (NYC: quality of life, tobacco, obesity) • Teaching and Practicing “Relational Competence.”

  4. Civility and Risk • Good relationship with pt and family best prevention against malpractice suit, even if adverse event. • Injured patients 50% less likely to sue when an error was disclosed and there was an apology. (Annals Int. Med. 2004) • Move in OR & CO to make it illegal to use doctors’ apologies against them in court. • Acknowledge, apologize for outcome, not necessarily take blame.

  5. Osler’s Golden Rule • “Alter the Golden Rule: What you do not like when done to yourself, do not do to others.” - Sir William Osler, JHUSOM • “Others bruise as easily as we do.”

  6. One Step Beyond the Golden Rule! • Think first of others’ (comfort and convenience). • If not OK for others, don’t insist. • Restrain Yourself! • “presenteeism”

  7. Updating the Wheel: Recent Research • Treatment: • 60% due to “Alliance” and Relationship (“common factors”: • 8% of 13%) • 30% due to “Allegiance” Factors (4/13%) • 8% due to model and technique (1/13%) • Extra-therapeutic Wampold, B. (2001). The Great Psychotherapy Debate. New York: Lawrence Erlbaum.

  8. Relationship Factors • The Therapeutic Alliance: • Agreement on goals; • Agreement on tasks; • “Rogerian” core conditions. 60 % Hubble, M., Duncan, B., & Miller, S. (1999). The Heart and Soul of Change. Washington, D.C.: APA Press

  9. (R+H+P) Formula for Success • Practitioners’ Contributions: Relationship Hope and a Plan

  10. Super Shrinks • Do better than other therapists. Period. Regardless of caseload mix, severity, training, experience, degree, etc. • Interpersonal facilitative skills (civility) best. • Most open to feedback.

  11. Therapy Effectiveness • Super Shrinks effective with 75%. • Least effective with 25%. • Improve least effective by 65% with active, formal patient feedback (re customer satisfaction, service, and outcome). • Least effective can then become effective with 41% of cases. • All therapy works sometimes with some patients. • What will work with this patient and this therapist at this time?

  12. The Outcome Rating Scale • Scored to the nearest millimeter. • Add the four scales together for the total score. • Client places a hash mark on the line. • Each line 10 cm (100 mm) in length.

  13. The Session Rating Scale • Scored to the nearest millimeter. • Add the four scales together for the total score. • Client places a hash mark on the line. • Each line 10 cm (100 mm) in length.

  14. JHBMC Student Therapist Outcomes 2003-06 • 9 students; passive collection of data • N=89 cases (n=75 ≥2 sessions) • Mean # sessions: 6.4 • Mean intake ORS: 18.9 • Mean D/C ORS: 25.1 (recovered ≥ 25 clinical cutoff) • Mean RCI: 6.2 (improved ≥ 5 points)

  15. JHBMC Student Therapist Outcomes 2003-06 (cont’d) • 48% improved (RCI ≥5) (36/75) • 59% recovered (D/C ORS ≥25) (44/75) • 86% of improved also recovered (31/36) • Preliminary data 6/26/06 • Progress comes quickly. Tx is beginning of end. • Deterioration comes over time.

  16. JHBMC Student Therapist Outcomes 2003-06 (cont’d) • Mean RCI with intake ORS < 25 (clinical cutoff) (72%, 54/75) : 9.7 (cf. 6.2) • More symptomatic populations improve more in tx. • 61% (33/54) improve. • 50% (27/54) recover. • Big improvements even without complete recovery. • Therapy works!
