Why is it important?
While one measurement based care system with a heritage of client privilege and social justice was offered as an illustration of cultural responsiveness, other client feedback systems can similarly begin to contextualize their outcome measures beyond symptoms to address oppression as well as include alliance measures to encourage discussion of therapist-client differences.
Perspectives
This article provides both an historical perspective of the evolution of client feedback as well as a way clinicians can translate APA's Multicultural Guidelines. The Partners for Change Outcome Management System emerged from clinical practice and was created to privilege clients and promote socially just practice. It evolved from there to become an evidence based practice but never wavered from its heritage of social justice.
