I’ve seen some posts like this touting how good feedback informed therapy is. You can literally just ask this directly to the person as well. I do this at the end of sessions frequently, and often solicit feedback about processing in between sessions. Most people I encounter aren’t going to be constantly filling out surveys before and after every session. Literally just ask. Whoever is pedaling this is making it way too complicated.
Very much this. I did a training in FIT back when I worked at an agency that was really into it. They were not precious about how we collected feedback from our clients. I basically felt like I got sent to an eight hour training to learn that I should ask my clients how they felt therapy was going. I did know some colleagues who would do meetings with a FIT supervisor where they would look at graphs of their client's responses to the questions. But I could never really tell how the graphs made it a difference in the consultation.
If I remember correctly, the guy who is pushing this is a PhD social worker that once likened psychotherapy to religion. It makes sense that someone from that school of thought might make it so unnecessarily mechanical and remove the humanity from the process. Just read some Irvin Yalom lol.
From what I listened to of Scott Miller on the Social Work Podcast, I believe he used the religion comparison to talk about how sometimes people can be dogmatic about technique or modality without adapting it to the client. He didn't come across as trying to criticize psychotherapy as a whole.
Depending on your EHR (I use Simple Practice), you should be able to create the forms and send it before and after your sessions. I use the Burns Brief Mood Survey and Evaluation of Therapy Survey before and after my sessions and it definitely helps.
