In this episode of Abstract Intelligence, we're diving deep into a fascinating study that explores the impact of seeing different therapists for intake and treatment.

The study, titled "Termination, Appointment Use, and Outcome Patterns Associated with Intake Therapist Discontinuity," looks at what happens when clients meet with one therapist for their initial intake session and then continue therapy with a different therapist.

We'll explore the researchers' findings, including how this "intake therapist discontinuity" affects things like:

• How likely clients are to stick with therapy
• How many sessions clients end up attending
• Whether clients actually get better

We'll also discuss the implications of these findings for how therapy is structured and what it means for both clients and therapists.

Curious to know if seeing different therapists for intake and treatment actually makes a difference?

Ever wondered why some clients seem to progress faster in therapy than others? It's not just about the client or the therapy model!

In this episode of Abstract Intelligence, we delve into a groundbreaking study that reveals the surprising impact of therapists AND clinics on treatment outcomes.

Prepare to be surprised by these jaw-dropping findings:

• Therapist effects account for a significant portion of client improvement. We're talking up to twice the improvement depending on the therapist!
• Clinics also play a hidden role in treatment success. Yes, the clinic itself can influence how well clients fare.
• Most change happens EARLY in therapy. This highlights the importance of those initial sessions.

But that's not all! We also explore:

• How therapist engagement with outcome monitoring can boost their effectiveness.
• The complex interplay of client, therapist, and clinic factors.
• Implications for matching clients with the right therapists and clinics.

Tune in to discover the hidden ingredients of successful therapy and how we can leverage these findings to enhance client care!
