- Abstract
User involvement in therapy includes some form of feedback from the clients. The feedback guides the therapist and the clients toward a best possible result through a best possible therapy process. In recent years many different procedures for collecting feedback have been developed. In a previous study presented in this journal we explored the expectations therapists had before including the comprehensive clinical feedback procedure, Systemic Therapy Inventory of Change ( STIC), in their clinical practices. Our aim with this present study is to explore couples' and family therapists' experiences with STIC from the perspective of user involvement. We found that the term 'using STIC' represented many different variations both between therapists and between the families each therapist worked with. Likewise user involvement, combined with a feedback procedure like STIC, was also a many faceted area. We discuss how therapists' experiences may relate to the different aspects of user involvement in therapy.
