Intervention Report Writing
An intervention report (also known as therapy report, progress report, or case summary) is typically provided at the end of therapy with a client, or when the client is being handed over to another psychologist. It gives an overview of the client’s presenting problems and what was done in therapy to help the client address those issues. A basic intervention report should include the following details:
Referral information – source of referral, referral reason;
Background - assessment findings/diagnoses (which may or may not be done by the treating psychologist), history of intervention (if any);
Presenting issues (if different from assessment findings/ new information is available to treating psychologist/ significant gap between the time of assessment and treatment);
Therapy goals;
Therapy progress - therapy modality, number of sessions, client’s progress, treatment obstacles, clinical impressions;
Evaluation of treatment;
Closure reason – satisfactory progress/ unsatisfactory progress/ prematurely terminated;
Recommendations for follow-up or other support services.
