Background: In this paper, we present the conceptual background and clinical implications of a research-based transtheoretical treatment and training model (4TM).
Method: The model implements findings from psychotherapy outcome, process, and feedback research into a clinical and training framework that is open to future research.
Results: The framework is based on interventions targeting patient processes on a behavioral, cognitive, emotional, motivational, interpersonal, and systemic/socio-cultural level.
Background: Although psychotherapy has shown to be effective for most patients, about one-third of patients do not benefit or deteriorate during treatment. Technical progress has allowed the integration of routine outcome monitoring (ROM) into treatment, helping therapists detect patients at risk for a nonresponse or poor outcome early on. Psychological therapy can be enhanced by providing therapists with individual treatment recommendations for these at-risk patients.

The (ITIS) was developed based on two existing CBT adherence and competence scales and augmented with third wave content and overarching therapeutic strategies.
