Abstract:
SUMMARYThis paper concerns one of the four research projects developed during a training course in clinical epidemiology managed by the Lombardy training centers IREF. Objectives — To compare the recommandations for treatment concerning 9 vignettes derived from the Australian Quality Assurance Project. Setting — Six Mental Health Services of Regione Lombardia. Design and Participants — For each vignette, all psychiatrists working in the 6 Mental Health Services were asked to fill in a questionnaire about treatment location, psychopharmacology, psychotheraphy, priority between psychotherapy and psychopharmacology and degree of difficulty in answering. Results — 44 out of 52 target psychiatrists took part to the study. Remarkable variability for treatment location and psychotherapies; moderate variation for psychodrugs prescriptions and a good agreement for diagnoses were observed. In drugs prescription an eccess of association was observed. The most prevalent model of psychotherapy was the psychodynamic, followed by the cognitivebehavioural and the family-systemic. There was a tendency toward a flexible approach, as suggested by recommendations of different psychotherapeutic models according to the nature of the disorder. No case were judged very difficult; only in 3 cases a judgement of «somewhat difficult» was expressed by more than 20% (but less than 30%) of the psychiatrists. Conclusions — Studies of this type are very easy to carry out and give useful information for continuous training programs and Continuous Quality Improvement projects.

Abstract:
Documentation used in psychotherapy for quality assurance can be useful, but also time consuming and inflexible. In the process of behavior analysis, therapy planning and conducting therapy, a large amount of clinical data have to be structured and organized. We present an economical documentation method that contains information about the most important causes of problem behavior and expectations about how much certain therapy components will achieve the therapist and client therapy aims. This documentation method can assist therapy planning, serve as a communicative tool for colleagues and supervisors, serve as an educational tool for clients, and be utilized as a self-reflective therapy discourse (quality assurance). The paper describes and pilots the use of a transtheoretical, graphic approach, the therapeutic concept diagram, for the above-mentioned aspects of quality assurance. Four experienced analytic therapists and six experienced cognitive-behavioral therapists documented therapeutic concept diagrams for five clients each. These 50 recorded therapeutic concept diagrams are described. In general, the diagrams were rated as useful for documentation and treatment planning. Ratings of the diagrams as a communicative tool and for a self-reflective therapy discourse were heterogenic, with analytical therapists tending to benefit more. The discussion focuses on application settings and limitations and highlights the heuristic value of assessing idiographic hypotheses.

Abstract:
Practising psychiatrists' views about the treatment of schizophrenia were investigated as part of a Quality Assurance Project. A questionnaire which asked for treatment recommendations for each of four case descriptions of patients with schizophrenia was mailed to a one-in-six random sample of Australian psychiatrists; 90% responded. Psychiatrists almost uniformly advocated the use of antipsychotic drugs and usually recommended concurrent supportive psychotherapy or family/social intervention procedures. The recommendations varied systematically, according to the initial history obtained and to the initial response to treatment.

Abstract:
The Quality Assurance Project is developing explicit and detailed treatment outlines for each of the major psychiatric disorders. Three sources of information are used: the treatment outcome literature, the opinions of a sample of practising psychiatrists and the views of a panel of nominated experts. The recommendations for the treatment of somatoform disorders were as follows: brief dynamic psychotherapy, family therapy and excellent medical consultation are the basis for the treatment of hypochondriasis. Limited long-term supportive psychotherapy and good medical consultation are important in somatization disorder. Symptom relief, psychotherapeutic support and meticulous collaboration with physicians are the keys to managing psychogenic pain disorder. Physiotherapy to improve physical functioning and patient education to facilitate the distinction between normal symptoms and abnormal illness behaviours are important in all three conditions. Neither the benzodiazepines nor behaviour therapy appear to be of use in these conditions.

Abstract:
The Quality Assurance Project is developing explicit and detailed treatment outlines for each of the major psychiatric disorders. Three sources of information are used: a meta-analysis of the treatment outcome literature, the opinions of a sample of practising psychiatrists, and the views of a panel of nominated experts. The recommendations for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder were as follows: for those patients who have no significant personality disorder, either short-term dynamic psychotherapy or cognitive behaviour therapy is indicated if the illness has lasted less than a year or if obsessions are the predominant symptoms. When compulsions predominate, particularly when they have been present for more than a year, response prevention is the treatment of choice. Tricyclic antidepressants and cingulo-tractomy are also worthy of consideration in patients with persisting symptoms. Psychotherapy or cognitive behaviour therapy are the approaches recommended for compulsive personality disorder.

Abstract:
Outcome research has documented worsening among a minority of the patient population (5 to 10%). In this study a psychotherapy quality assurance system intended to enhance outcomes in patients at risk of treatment failure was reviewed through the use of meta-analytic, mega-analytic, and multilevel analytic techniques. A pooled dataset from six major studies conducted at a large university counseling center and a hospital outpatient setting (N = 6151, mean age = 23.3 years, female = 63.2%, Caucasian = 85%) were re-analyzed to examine the effects of progress feedback on patient outcome. In this quality assurance system, the Outcome Questionnaire-45 was routinely administered to patients to monitor their therapeutic progress and was utilized as part of an early alert system to identify patients at risk of treatment failure. Patient progress feedback based on this alert system was provided to clinicians to help them intervene before treatment failure occurred. Intent-to-treat and efficacy analyses of the effects of feedback interventions were conducted to obtain the estimates of effects expected from implementation of this quality assurance system as a policy as well as in clinical trials. Three forms of feedback interventions—integral elements of this quality assurance system—were effective in enhancing treatment outcome, especially for signal alarm patients. Two of the three feedback interventions were also effective in preventing treatment failure (Clinical Support Tools and the provision of patient progress feedback to therapists). The Clinical Support Tool intervention was effective not only in terms of the amount of outcome enhancing effect, but also in the rate of patient recovery. The current state of evidence appears to support the efficacy and effectiveness of feedback interventions in enhancing treatment outcome.

Abstract:
To date, outcome research suggests that providing clinicians with patient progress feedback and problem-solving tools is effective in improving therapeutic outcome for clients who are predicted to have a negative treatment outcome. To expand upon this body of research, the current study examined the efficacy of using these problem-solving tools (Clinical Support Tools; CST) to reduce the risk of treatment failure and enhance positive outcome with 118 clients who were not identified as at -risk for a negative outcome. Results of this study indicated that the intervention failed to lower the rate of becoming an at-risk case or to enhance treatment outcome. A possible explanation for the null results observed is poor treatment compliance. Based on the findings of this study, the CST cannot be recommended as an intervention across the broad range of clients who enter treatment. However, qualitative analysis results reflect positive indicators for continued research with at-risk cases.

Abstract:
Patient-focused research systems have been developed to monitor and inform therapists of patients' treatment progress in psychotherapy as a method to enhance patient outcome. The current study examined the effects of providing treatment progress information and problem-solving tools to both patients and therapists during the course of psychotherapy. Three hundred seventy patients at a hospital-based outpatient psychotherapy clinic were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: treatment-as-usual, or an experimental condition based on the use of patient/therapist feedback and clinical decision-support tools. Patients in the feedback condition were significantly more improved at termination than the patients in the treatment as usual condition. These findings are consistent with past research on these approaches although the effect size was smaller in this study. Treatment effects were not a consequence of different amounts of psychotherapy received by experimental and control clients. Not all therapists were aided by the feedback intervention.
