journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 10:51 authored by Mark Ashworth, Susan I Robinson, Emma Godfrey, Henk Parmentier, Melanie Shepherd, Jeremy Christey, Kevin Wright, Veronica MatthewsPSYCHLOPS (‘Psychological Outcome Profiles’) is a newly developed client-generated psychometric instrument which can be used as an outcome measure. Uniquely, it asks clients to state their own problems, in their own words. As part of its validation, we used it alongside an existing measure, CORE-OM (‘Clinical Outcomes Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure’). Based on a qualitative methodology, we report here on the first-hand experiences of four therapists using both instruments. The key themes that emerged from therapists’ responses were feasibility, validity and usefulness. Both questionnaires were perceived as complementing each other, the qualitative information from PSYCHLOPS balancing the quantitative information from CORE-OM and that both could contribute to the therapist-client interaction. The key features of PSYCHLOPS are likely to prove attractive to therapists and should increase acceptance and uptake of outcome measures.
