“…As is the case in most areas of outcome research, the child and adolescent literature is even further behind than the adult literature. The adolescent population has been virtually ignored in terms of assessing treatment-process variables (Bussell, 2000;Kaminer, 1994;Kazdin, 1995). For example, a recent review of the literature on group treatment with children and adolescents (Hoag & Burlingame, 1997) noted that while group therapy is an overall effective medium, research in this area lacks specific information about what makes a treatment effective.…”

“…In her review of the literature evaluating the impact of therapy process, Bussell (2000), noted that the majority of process research to date has focused on the moment-to moment interactions between the therapist and the client(s) or on significant events that occur during individual therapy sessions (Hill, Nutt, & Jackson, 1994). In this literature, process refers to the events that take place during a group session while outcome refers to changes that occur as a result of the intervention (Hill & Corbett, 1993).…”

“…When she developed her measure (Bussell, 2000), the existing literature was compromised mainly of measures designed for use with adults in individual therapy. A search of the literature revealed only one session impact measure used in individual therapy with adolescent males (Dunne, Thompson, & Leitch, 2000) and only one session impact measure being used in adolescent groups (Kaminer et al, 1998).…”

“…A recent study by Bussell (2000), for example, sought to advance the development of efficacious interventions for use with adolescent populations by helping to close the knowledge gap with respect to assessing the impact of therapy process variables on group interventions. Bussell's study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of assessing the impact of therapy process using a session-by-session impact measure in a difficult to work with population of adolescents in a non-clinical setting.…”

“…More specifically, as described in more detail in the sections below, this study is designed to build on and extend Bussell's (2000) work on developing a measure of session-bysession impact and to investigate the utility of the measure in assessing the impact of process across intervention groups.…”

The Youth Counseling Impact Scale (YCIS) is an empirically validated treatment progress measure that assesses youths’ perceptions of the short term effectiveness of therapy. Since its initial publication, the original 10-item measure has been shortened to ease measurement burden and revised to include a question about a youth’s insight into his or her strengths. The current study describes the development of the revised YCIS (v.2) and evaluates its psychometric properties. Additionally, this study examines whether the YCIS (v.2) total score or subscale scores change over time and investigates whether there are gender or age differences for youths’ perceptions of the impact of therapy. Results found the revised version obtained comparable information to that of the original measure, and that the revised version retained the factor structure of the original model with one primary general factor of Counseling Impact and two secondary factors (Insight and Change). Results also suggested that while the YCIS (v.2) total score and Change subscale score did not change linearly over the course of treatment, the Insight subscale score showed a small but significant linear increase over time. No significant differences in YCIS scores based on youth age or gender were found. The implication of these findings, the clinical and empirical utility of this measure, and its limitations are discussed.

The current paper describes and evaluates the Youth Counseling Impact Scale (YCIS), a recently developed therapeutic process measure that assesses youths’ perceptions of the impact individual mental health counseling sessions have on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This measure is intended for frequent use in the mental health treatment of youths aged 11–18. It provides a general Impact score as well as two subscale scores: Insight and Change. Five hundred youths receiving mental health services participated in this investigation. Classical Test Theory, Item Response Theory, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and analyses of the relationship of the YCIS with other scales were used to evaluate the research questions. The results suggest that overall the YCIS is a well-functioning scale with good psychometric properties. The proposed model for one primary general factor of impact and two secondary factors (Insight and Change) fit the data well. Specific weaknesses of the scale are discussed and possible improvements are suggested.
