ABSTRACT
In recent years, one of the most significant recent innovations in psychotherapy practice has been the use of brief outcome and process measures on a weekly basis, to monitor progress in therapy, and provide feedback to both the therapist and client regarding whether the person seeking help is 'on track' towards a good outcome or 'not on track'. A pluralistic approach perspective embraces the general principle that feedback measures can make a positive contribution to therapy practice. However, pluralistic therapy emphasises the multiple possibilities associated with the use of feedback, and encourages sensitivity to how this activity might be helpful or hindering in individual cases. The key point here is that it is important to collect the right kind of feedback for each client. As a result of the pluralistic emphasis on paying serious heed to client preferences and resources, the therapist is consistently placed in a position of learning from clients.
