Résumé : | In 1984, N. S. Jacobson et al. (see record 1985-00073-001) defined clinically significant change as the extent to which therapy moves someone outside the range of the dysfunctional population or within the range of the functional population. In the present article, ways of operationalizing this definition are described, and examples are used to show how clients can be categorized on the basis of this definition. A reliable change index (RC) is also proposed to determine whether the magnitude of change for a given client is statistically reliable. The inclusion of the RC leads to a twofold criterion for clinically significant change. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) |
