| The feasibility of using online psychotherapy process forms and the equivalence of these forms to their paper-and-pencil counterparts was investigated. Participants drawn from a psychology department clinic, a student counseling center, and community agencies visited an online Web site to report on each of their sessions by completing the two brief online rating forms. The feasibility of online psychotherapy process measure usage for therapists indicated they visited the Web site on a regular basis; however, client recruitment and participation was problematic. Equivalence between the online and paper-and-pencil forms was supported, with minor qualifications, by (i) similar underlying factor structures and (ii) comparable distributions of participant responses on the measures' scales. More direct contact with clients might increase their participation. |
