Abstract
There are few studies of psychiatric hospital treatment that include measures of the treatment process. Perhaps the greatest neglect exists in the failure to collect from the clinicians their observations about the treatment interventions they most emphasize in each patient's treatment. The purpose of this paper is to report the development of a set of rating scales that call on hospital clinical staff to assess the relative prominence of various forms of interventions, namely, degree of restriction, vocational and avocational activities, therapeutic and community groups, medication, degree of supportive versus expressive emphasis and individual psychotherapy. We present a study of interrater reliability in a variety of hospital settings and results of a factor analysis of a portion of the scales.
