Assessment and Feedback
A comprehensive assessment is fundamental in treatment planning (see Comprehensive Clinical Assessment).
Sharing assessment information with patients in plain, non-judgemental language should be standard practice in a collaborative and motivationally-oriented approach to treatment, and can increase the patient’s motivation to change as well as his understanding of and engagement in the treatment.
