Technology to Support the Clinical Management of Psychotherapy Cases: Commentary on the Polaris-MH

Abstract

Advances in the technology of measurement and informatics have potential for supporting the clinical management of individual cases of psychotherapy. The Polaris-MH system described by Grissom and Lyons (2006, see record 2006-23438-001) is one example of these advances. The potential utility of this and similar systems is discussed in light of research on feedback to therapists and of prediction of treatment outcomes.
