ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring a patient's psychotherapy progress is provided. Initial patient mental health is measured by administering a questionnaire measuring three psychological variables. The three psychological variable measures are combined into a mental health index. Following a number of sessions of psychotherapy, the patient's subsequent psychological condition is again measured using the three psychological variables. Patient session records are stored in a large database. Patient progress can thus be compared versus patient initial psychological condition, typical patient outcomes as stored in the database, and patient improvement as a function of a number of sessions of psychotherapy can be determined. The system further provides a case manager with a measure of the effectiveness of continued psychotherapy sessions, and a basis of comparison of various psychotherapy providers.
