Intake Officers may actually be making things worse
In this episode of Abstract Intelligence, we're diving deep into a fascinating study that explores the impact of seeing different therapists for intake and treatment.   The study, titled "Termination, Appointment Use, and Outcome Patterns Associated with Intake Therapist Discontinuity," looks at what happens when clients meet with one therapist for their initial intake session and then continue therapy with a different therapist.   We'll explore the researchers' findings, including how this "intake therapist discontinuity" affects things like:How likely clients are to stick with therapy   How many sessions clients end up attending   Whether clients actually get better   We'll also discuss the implications of these findings for how therapy is structured and what it means for both clients and therapists.   Curious to know if seeing different therapists for intake and treatment actually makes a difference?Tune in to find out!Want to read the full paper?https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232548610_Termination_Appointment_Use_and_Outcome_Patterns_Associated_With_Intake_Therapist_DiscontinuityIf you like your tips just a little more human, check out our youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@PREP-RegistrarLooking for a supervisor to implement some of these great ideas?https://findasupervisor.com.auEarly career psychologist looking for up to date cutting edge CPD?https://learning.prep.clinicLooking to become a psychology supervisor?https://stap.org.au
