Abstract

Date Presented 4/21/2018

This study highlights that a patient’s emotional health is more likely to impact patient-reported, rather than clinician-reported, outcomes of change. It is likely, therefore, that patients may feel dissatisfied with treatment outcomes if clinicians do not address their emotional health.
