This is from an email today by a therapist in Barry Duncan's listserv (see article above) talking about using those evalution forms as part of therapy.

I have been using the [therapy progress evaluation] scales for some time now[…]. It is still a small sample and early in the process, but my effectiveness as a therapist is not showing itself to be anywhere near average — quite low in fact. Talk about narcissitic injuries! I thought I was cutting edge! I am doing this voluntarily and with enthusiasm, and I can just imagine how it would be if someone told me I had to do it. […]When I told [a colleague] that so far I am turning out to be a below-average therapist he started to laugh and said, “that's the real reason I don't want to do [evaluations], I'm afraid that is what I am going to discover.” […]
I actually feel sort of defiant looking at my low effectiveness numbers. I am going to do everything I can to improve them.
