| الوصف: | BACKGROUND: Outcome measures mostly focusing on symptom reduction to measure change cannot indicate whether any personally meaningful change has occurred. There is a need to broaden the current understanding of outcomes for adolescent depression and identify whether holistic, interlinked patterns of change may be more clinically meaningful. OBJECTIVE: To create a typology of therapy outcomes based on the experiences of adolescents with depression. METHOD: Interview data from 83 participants from a clinical trial of the psychological treatment of adolescent depression was analysed using ideal type analysis. RESULTS: Six ideal types were constructed, reflecting different evaluations of the holistic impact of therapy: "I've worked on my relationships", "With the insight from therapy, and feeling validated, I can cope with life challenges better", "My mood still goes up and down", "If I want things to change, I need to help myself", "Therapy might help, but it hasn't been enough", and "I don't feel therapy has helped me". CONCLUSION: Assessing change using outcome measures may not reflect the interconnected experience for adolescents or the contextual meaning of symptom change. The typology developed offers a way of considering the impact of therapy, taking into account how symptom change is experienced within a broader perspective. |
