Therapist self-report reliability and accuracy in individual vs. conjoint systemic family therapy sessions: implications for clinical monitoring

Purpose

This study investigated how session composition (individual vs. conjoint) influenced the reliability and accuracy of therapist self-report on the use of Systemic Family Therapy (SFT) techniques in a community-based mental health clinic (CMHC). Accurate self-reporting is essential for monitoring and improving clinical practice, ensuring treatment fidelity, and evaluating evidence-based models.
