“…As expected, the diagnosis most represented was in the anxiety-depression spectrum (neurotic disorders, adaptive reactions and emotional disorders). Substantially, our sample showed a CORE-OM mean score not significantly different from the Italian validation sample (Palmieri et al, 2009). As regards the Clinical Outcomes at the baseline, participants obtained highest scores in the Well-being and Symptoms scales, thus showing a greater suffering in these two domains.…”

“…All the measures are problem scored, so that higher scores correspond to more severe problems. The original validation and Italian version also report cutoff values (for the 4 dimensions and 2 total scales) both for men and women, in order to distinguish between clinical and non-clinical range (Evans et al, 2002;Palmieri et al, 2009). The reliability of the Italian version of CORE-OM has been reported as showing high internal consistency (α=0.92) (Palmieri et al, 2009).…”

“…In order to assess the effectiveness of the psychological treatment, every psychotherapist working at the Counselling Centre uses the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation -Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) (Barkham, Gilbert, Connell, Marshall, & Twigg, 2005;Evans et al, 2002; Italian validation by Palmieri et al, 2009), a 34-item self-report measure designed to assess the level of psychological distress and outcome of the psychological therapy. The CORE-OM is a reliable, valid and sensitive to change instrument to use in clinical audit and it is a recommended outcome measure in Italian psychotherapy services for implementing routine evaluation.…”

The aim of this work was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of analytical psychodrama groups for college students with psychological problems. Analytical psychodrama, as a form of group psychotherapy, is an integral part of the program of treatment of young adults in the Counselling Center of the University of Bologna, which provides a free service for its students, aimed at delivering psychological support. Thirty patients (22 females) from 20 to 26 years old (mean age 22.33, standard deviation±1.75), suffering from mental health problems, who completed one year of psychodrama, were assessed before and after group psychotherapy. The Italian validation of Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation -Outcome Measure was used as test-retest questionnaire for clinical outcome evaluation. The results demonstrated the efficacy of the treatment in terms of symptom decrease and improvement of patients' well being. After the treatment (40 sessions, once a week), patients showed a statistically significant reduction in clinical outcomes scores compared with pre-treatment scores. Moreover, the analyses of Reliable and Clinical Significant Change index showed that about 30% of patients improved, and this improvement was reliable and/or clinically significant. Our preliminary findings revealed that analytical psychodrama is a suitable treatment for college students, as it actually reduces young adults' symptoms. These results contribute to the topic of the validity of psychodrama interventions to encourage research regarding the specific psychotherapeutic effects of its method.

“…It measures a range of mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, functional capacity, and risk. It has been translated into other written languages, including Slovak (Gampe, Biešcad, Balúnová-Labanicová, Timulák, & Evans, 2007) and Italian (Palmieri et al, 2009). The BSL version of CORE-OM has been produced and validated by Rogers, Evans, Campbell, Young, & Lovell (2012b) as part of a separate research study.…”

The present study is aimed to translate 3 widely used clinical assessment measures into British Sign Language (BSL), to pilot the BSL versions, and to establish their validity and reliability. These were the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, and the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS). The 3 assessment measures were translated into BSL and piloted with the Deaf signing population in the United Kingdom (n = 113). Participants completed the PHQ-9, GAD-7, WSAS, and Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation–Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) online. The reliability and validity of the BSL versions of PHQ-9, GAD-7, and WSAS have been examined and were found to be good. The construct validity for the PHQ-9 BSL version did not find the single-factor solution as found in the hearing population. The BSL versions of PHQ-9, GAD-7, and WSAS have been produced in BSL and can be used with the signing Deaf population in the United Kingdom. This means that now there are accessible mental health assessments available for Deaf people who are BSL users, which could assist in the early identification of mental health difficulties.

Intensive Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (ITAP) is a new therapeutic approach based on the integration of Transactional Analysis and brief psychodynamic approaches. ITAP is based on two key therapeutic tools—the intrapsychic triangle and the interpersonal triangle—which the therapist uses to focus patients’ attention on moment‐by‐moment therapy processes. The aim of the present study was to provide early empirical documentation of ITAP effectiveness. To this aim, six patients (four females, two males) were longitudinally evaluated using an A‐B‐A mixed quantitative and qualitative design, with evaluations at Baseline, Treatment and Follow‐up phases. Each patient received 16 50‐min weekly sessions of ITAP therapy over 4 months. For quantitative evaluations, patients filled out the Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation‐Outcome Measure (CORE‐OM) at each evaluation. Effects size values were estimated to evaluate quantitative changes comparing mean scores of Baseline, Treatment and Follow‐up phases. At the first follow‐up, the Change Interview was used to qualitatively evaluate patients’ perceived changes. In the quantitative data, four of the six patients reported a very good outcome, with large to very large effect sizes in Baseline versus Treatment and/or Baseline versus Follow‐up scores comparisons, whereas two patients reported variable fluctuations within the non‐clinical range of outcome scores. In the qualitative evaluations, all patients reported several moderately to extremely important perceived changes attributed to psychotherapy.
