Abstract
Enhancing treatment outcomes for clients who are predicted to deteriorate before leaving treatment has important implications for quality of client care. The effects of three interventions aimed at reducing client deterioration were examined in a sample of 1,374 clients whose outcome was contrasted across experimental groups and with a no-feedback/archival control group consisting of data from 1,445 clients. Results indicated that feedback to therapists reduced deterioration rates and improved outcome across clients, especially those predicted to be treatment failures. Therapist feedback effects were enhanced by the use of prompts to action based on a clinical support tools manual but not by the provision of direct feedback to clients.
