Client-directed outcome informed therapy was Developed by: Scott Miller, Barry Duncan
Overview: “Given these facts, using the CDOI approach, a client is asked to complete two very brief, but formal scales at each therapy session. The first is the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) given at the beginning of each session to measure the client’s experience of change or progress between visits. The second, called the Session Rating Scale (SRS) is completed at the end of each session and measures the client’s assessment of the alliance. Each scale is comprised of four questions and the entire process takes only 2-3 minutes per visit. The fact that each of these scales is used at every session allows the therapist to change approach or style during therapy if a negative experience or poor progress is reported by the client. Research shows that this greatly enhances the likelihood of a positive outcome.”

“In Client-Directed Outcome-Focused Psychotherapy, Dr. Scott D. Miller presents a meta-approach to talk therapy that is designed to help tailor the treatment to fit the client's particular therapeutic goals. Technique is deemphasized in favor of developing a strong therapeutic alliance and using the client's experience of the treatment as a guide for where treatment should go. This requires checking in with the client frequently to see whether therapy is working and using this formal feedback to guide treatment and evaluation.”
