Does brief therapy yield better outcomes? How can this be - the higher my average sessions per client, the poorer my outcomes. Any thoughts on why? therapymeetsnumbers.com/does-brief-the…

All very depressing, but doesn’t it rather suggest that as individual therapists we need to do much more in terms of evidencing our impact? I’ll take on an AI therapist any day of the week on the basis of my outcome data. Bring it on!

Does brief therapy yield better outcomes? The higher my average sessions per client, the poorer my outcomes. Why?

How secure are your online notes? This horror show concerns a platform that was grossly negligent in its security. I would touch anything that doesn't feature two-factor authentication at the very least. theguardian.com/technology/202…

Does brief therapy yield better outcomes? Looking at my outcome data over 5 years, I’m seeing the higher my average sessions per client, the poorer my outcomes. How can this be? therapymeetsnumbers.com/does-brief-the…

Does brief therapy yield better outcomes? It surely makes sense that more sessions yield better outcomes, right? My improvement rates over the past five years, however, suggest otherwise. therapymeetsnumbers.com/does-brief-the…

Our survey shows practitioners who use their ‘felt sense’ to estimate how many of their clients improve rate their outcomes as worse than those with actual data. Ideas on why? therapymeetsnumbers.com/how-many-of-yo…

According to our survey psychotherapists reckon they get better outcomes than counsellors. What are your thoughts? therapymeetsnumbers.com/how-many-of-yo…

How many of your clients get better? We asked you to say what proportions of your clients improve, stay the same, and deteriorate. You told us, and we compared your responses to a 2012 study and to some established benchmarks. This is what you told us. bit.ly/44JXMfk

Do therapists rate their skills and performance more highly as they gain experience? Read the results of our survey. therapymeetsnumbers.com/where-are-the-…

Only 10% of rate our performance as therapists as below average. Statistically, that’s a non-starter. therapymeetsnumbers.com/where-are-the-…

Where are the below average therapists? We asked you to rate your skills and performance compared to your professional peers. Seems very few of us seem prepared to entertain the possibility of being below average. therapymeetsnumbers.com/where-are-the-…
