Treatment Process Expectations Index (TPEI)

Have you ever wondered what clients and caregivers are thinking when they come into treatment for the first time? What do they expect it to be like? What kind of results do they expect to see? We have two measures of treatment expectations that are only completed once at intake by the client and the caregiver. One is the Treatment Process Expectations Index, which has 9 questions.

The Process Expectations measure asks them about what they think treatment is going to be like - like what activities and services will be involved, how treatment will feel, and what roles the clinician and family will play in treatment. You can use this information to get a better understanding of what your client is expecting from services and get on the same page with them right from the start.
