Description: Partners in Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS; aka Feedback informed Treatment, FIT) was borne out of the recognition that clients’ preferences and their voices should be elevated above allegiance and adherence to any theory and technique. In short, PCOMS represents an evidence-based approach that is grounded in social justice and that meets the ethical obligation for counselors to monitor clinical effectiveness. Providers are encouraged to strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which is the most robust predictor of clinical outcomes, through greater collaboration and honoring of clients’ perspective. NOTE: This program may be counted towards ethics requirements for license renewal.
