Outcome treatment effectiveness tests are rather rare. This is in part due to different approaches, philosophies and methodologies regarding counseling, psychotherapy and treatment and outcome (effectiveness) measurement. The following counseling and treatment effectiveness (outcome) tests use the first (intake) test administration as a baseline for comparison with subsequent (posttest) test administrations.

All of the following tests keep history (court and treatment) questions to a minimum. This is to enable scale scores to be here-and-now based. (within the last 30 days). Each of the following counseling/treatment effectiveness (outcome) tests use the same test for pretest (intake) and posttest (counseling or treatment completion), with the pretest serving as the baseline for comparison.
