title: Measurement of patient involvement - what do concepts of psychotherapy research contribute?
abstract: The article comments on Shared Decision Making (SDM) research from a different perspective, i.e. psychotherapy research. Psychotherapy research had to face similar challenges, both conceptual as well as methodological. Meanwhile, the generic model of psychotherapy has helped researchers to put single results into a perspective that also might be helpful to the SDM field. Since SDM research increasingly focuses upon process perspectives directed towards the doctor-patient dyad, we propose measures and constructs from interpersonal theory as useful tools to be introduced into SDM research. A selection of these measures and their potential within SDM research is described.
