Problem
Duncan suggests that behavioral health providers consistently overestimate their skills and abilities and proposes using client rating of the therapeutic alliance (client relationship with therapist) and outcomes (client perception of change) to improve client outcomes.
i. Do you think behavioral health providers overestimate their skills and abilities? Why or why not?
ii. How would you feel asking clients to rate the strength of their relationship with you on a per session basis?
iii. What can you do to "stay humble" and ensure that you are incorporating regular client feedback into your work?
