Some measures of goal attainment in focussed integrated active psychotherapy: a study of fifteen cases.
The psychotherapeutic treatment of 15 patients is described. The goals were defined in terms of target problems and target dilemmas, traps and snags, and the outcome was assessed by rating these or with a symptom questionnaire and a dyad repertory grid before and after treatment. Patients who rated dilemmas as resolved showed appropriate changes in construct correlations on the dyad grid.
