“…For example, the phase model of change has been empirically supported to indicate that common factors improve well-being, symptom reduction, and life functioning (Kopta et al 1994). Common factors have been shown to be especially essential within separate phases, such as positive expectancies, role preparation, and collaborative goal formation being particularly important within the early process of psychotherapy (see Defife and Hilsenroth 2011).…”

“…At a basic level, the importance of collaborative goal setting with any client in the rehabilitative process is a common factor underlying the effectiveness of a number of different treatment modalities (DeFife & Hilsenroth, 2011). In the present study, respondents noted that at times they deviated from priorities identified by their risk assessment tools in order to build a good working alliance, which meant putting some goals on the "back burner" until clients were motivated, as well as working collaboratively on goals clients found important.…”

This study qualitatively explored frontline perspectives on the challenges of addressing youths' criminogenic needs within a risk-need-responsivity (RNR)-based case management framework. Twenty-nine probation officers from Toronto, Canada participated in semistructured interviews. Emergent themes included the importance of targeting "high impact" criminogenic needs (needs thatwhen effectively addressed-also have an impact on other need domains in addition to a direct impact on criminogenic risk), the salience of specific responsivity factors in case management, the lack of evidence-based programming available to youth, and respondents' uncertainty regarding their role in addressing criminogenic needs. Results highlight the need for research examining the interrelationship of criminogenic needs, specific responsivity factors, and educational outcomes of youth on probation. Findings also support recent initiatives that provide concrete training to probation officers around implementation of the need and responsivity principles in effective case management of justice-involved youth.

BackgroundIn a primary health-care centre (PHCC) situated in a segregated area with low socio-economic status, ‘primary care triage’ has increased efficiency and accessibility. In the primary-care triage, the nurse sorts the patient to the appropriate PHCC profession according to described symptoms.AimThe aim of this study was to examine the patients’ experience of being triaged directly to a psychologist for assessment.MethodInterviews were conducted with 20 patients and then analysed using qualitative content analysis.FindingsThe results show that patients contacting the PHCC for mental health issues often are active agents with their own intent to see a psychologist, not a doctor, as a first-hand choice when contacting the PHCC. Seeking help for mental health issues is described as a sensitive issue that demands building up strength before contacting. The quick access to the preferred health-care professional is appreciated. The nurse was perceived as a caring facilitator rather than a decision maker. It is the patient's wish rather than the symptoms that directs the sorting. The patients’ expectations when meeting the psychologist were wide and diverse. The structured assessment sometimes collided and sometimes united with these expectations, yielding different outcome satisfaction. The results could be seen in line with the present goal to increase patients’ choice in the health-care system. The improved accessibility to the psychologist seems to meet community expectations. The results also indicate a need for providing more prior information about the assessment and potential outcomes.
