Am I any good? Using Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) in CBT

Presenter: Ms Lisa Catania

Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne

 

Are you curious about how effective you are in delivering therapy? Come and learn about Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) as an approach that is gathering a growing evidence base with positive client outcomes.

The origins of Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) date back to the 1980s and 1990s when researchers started tracking therapist effectiveness. Through a FIT approach, clinicians gather real-time input from clients using structured yet flexible measures that identify what is and is not working in therapy and how to better meet clients’ needs. There has been a growing evidence base in this research area. The benefits of ongoing formal feedback from clients include higher retention rates, greater therapeutic improvement, enhancement of client quality of life, fewer no-shows, and an awareness of the factors that lead to treatment drop-out.

This presentation will briefly outline: the history and research of FIT; a personal journey of understanding and applying this approach in CBT; and ideas to incorporate this method in a clinical domain.
