Since they were developed and tested back in the late 90’s, the Outcome and Session Rating Scales have been downloaded by practitioners more than 100,000 times!  Judging by the number of cases entered into the three authorized software applications, the tools have been used inform service delivery for millions of clients seeking care for different problems in diverse treatment settings.  The number of books, manuals, and “how to” videos describing how to use the tools has continued to grow dramatically.

    I really like the distinction on random and non-random errors and how it relates to FIT and DP. Thanks for that clarity!

    I’m in New Zealand.
