Article Synopsis
- Psychotherapy outcomes have traditionally been assessed based on symptom relief, but this may miss vital insights from clients' personal experiences, highlighting the need for a more client-centered evaluation approach.
- The study involved a comprehensive search of databases to collect qualitative research on client-identified outcomes from psychotherapy, incorporating findings from 177 studies across 24 countries that included insights from nearly 3,000 clients.
- The analysis revealed 60 meta-categories of outcomes categorized into ten clusters, which encompass areas like social functioning, emotional health, self-awareness, and overall attitudes towards life, signaling a broader understanding of psychotherapy's impact beyond just symptom relief.
This study aimed to develop an updated brief self-report post-session measure, suitable for collecting systematic feedback on clients' session reactions in the context of measurement-based care (MBC). The Session Reactions Scale-3 (SRS-3; 33 items) was developed by extending and adjusting the Revised Session Reactions Scale. In Study 1, the psychometric properties of the SRS-3 were tested on = 242 clients.

Method: The aim of this study was to investigate what types of client-identified impacts are reported in qualitative studies on helpful and hindering events in psychotherapy.
