Technical progress has allowed the integration of routine outcome monitoring (ROM) into treatment, helping therapists detect patients at risk for a nonresponse or poor outcome early on. Psychological therapy can be enhanced by providing therapists with individual treatment recommendations for these at-risk patients. One example of such a comprehensive feedback system is the Trier Treatment Navigator (TTN).
OBJECTIVE: This clinical case study aims to illustrate the implementation of the TTN in a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) outpatient clinic in the treatment of a 30-year-old patient called Ms. Daun, who has a recurrent depressive disorder. Based on this case, the benefits of applying information from ROM in psychotherapy, important context factors, and possible implementation issues are discussed.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude by encouraging practitioners to integrate ROM into their clinical thinking and daily practice.
