“…As part of the project most germane to this study, patients and their therapists completed a standard set of questionnaires and rating scales aimed at assessing patients' experiences in psychotherapy, as well as changes in their functioning and symptoms (see Howard et al, 1990). Measurements were repeated at predefined session points in the course of therapy.…”

The interpersonal circumplex was used to categorize patients reporting interpersonal distress into 1 of 4 problem quadrants: Friendly Dominant, Hostile Dominant, Hostile Submissive, and Friendly Submissive. At several points in treatment, therapists assessed their patients' personality disturbances, global functioning, and assets and liabilities for therapy. Patients described their in-session experiences using the Therapy Session Report (D. E. Orlinsky & K. I. Howard, 1975). The 4 problem types each had a coherent and distinctive set of correlates. Patients' interpersonal problems were articulated in therapists' perceptions and evaluations, and in the kinds of interpersonal and intrapsychic themes (wants, hopes, feelings, behaviors, etc.) that characterized patients' retrospective accounts of the therapy sessions. The results add to knowledge about the IIP, interpersonal problems, and the psychotherapy context.Interpersonal problems are the characteristic difficulties that an individual experiences in relating to others and are sources of subjective distress (cf. Homey, 1950;Horowitz, 1994;Leary, 1957), Clearly, interpersonal problems are a major reason that people seek psychotherapy (Horowitz, Rosenberg, & Bartholomew, 1993), and each of the major systems of psychotherapy has, in one way or another, addressed the issue of how best to conceptualize, assess, and classify such problems.The broad purpose of this article is to explore the construct validity of a self-report measure of interpersonal problems, the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP; Horowitz, Rosenberg, Baer, Ureno, & Villasenor, 1988). As Cronbach and Meehl (1955) pointed out, construct validity efforts serve simultaneously to advance knowledge about particular measures, their referent traits, and-perhaps just as important-the larger, "nomological net" in which those measures and traits are embedded. In this case, the net, or context, is the psychotherapy encounter, as represented in psychodynamic psychotherapy

“…A second example of a services research approach to psychotherapy effectiveness is the Northwestern Study of Long-term Psychotherapy (Howard, Orlinsky, Saunders, Davidson, & O'Mahoney, 1991). This study focused on 1,001 patients who were referred to an outpatient psychotherapy clinic based in a university medical school in a large metropolitan area between 1988 and 1996.…”

The information processing demands of planning and conducting psychotherapy and the types of information that clinicians value potentially can inform research that is likely to be useful to clinicians. Four approaches to conducting research on psychotherapy issues-technology transfer studies, quasi-experimental single-case designs, mental health services research, and case-focused patient profiling-have the potential to inform the practicing therapist. These approaches generally are either treatment focused or patient focused, and can vary in their relevance to the individual case.

“…The second sample consisted of 80 patients treated at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Institute of Psychiatry Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic (Clinic) who had agreed to participate in a psychotherapy research project (Howard, Orlinsky, Saunders, Davidson, & O'Mahoney, 1991). All patients had a SCID diagnosis of depression and completed the self-report scales (SWB, CS, CLF) that eventually were incorporated into COMPASS-PC.…”

The Directions program provides an administratively efficient method to screen for psychological disorders in a primary-care setting (FOCUS), confirm the need for treatment, and monitor progress (COMPASS-PC). The instruments are psychometrically sound and grounded in an established theory of mental-health treatment. The present study reports the relationships between FOCUS, COMPASS-PC, and the Hamilton Depression scale for a sample of patients who have been diagnosed as major depressive disorder, dysthymia, or depressive syndrome by standardized criteria (i.e., SCID-IV and DSM-IV). Moreover, Focus and COMPASS-PC are evaluated for their ability to detect depression as defined by SCID-IV and DSM IV. Furthermore, we examine the relationship between the different instruments in their ability to measure response to treatment over time.
