Abstract
344 adult clients at a community mental health training clinic were evaluated biweekly on the outcomes questionnaire (OQ-45). Change on the outcomes questionnaire was moderated by previous treatment (psychotherapy and/or medication) exposure. Specifically, previous treatment was associated with a smaller reduction in symptoms over time.
