title: [Acceptance of a psychometric routine diagnostics and quality monitoring system among psychotherapists in inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Psychotherapists are considered to be sceptical of empirical measures of quality assurance. It is generally recognised that the success of these measures mainly depends on how they are accepted by the people involved.
  
  
  METHODS
  The acceptance of a quality monitoring system among psychotherapists was investigated with a standardised assessment instrument.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Practical relevance and practicability of the system were judged positively on the following dimensions: "support of clinical diagnostics", "examination of the outcome", "reflecting on the therapeutic process", "documentation", "integration in the therapeutic process", "pressure to succeed and control" and "work loading". The factors "professional experience", "profession" and "sex" had just a small influence on the degree of acceptance of the quality monitoring system.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Psychotherapists consider a practically relevant and economical quality monitoring system as useful.
