Authors' objectives:
The purpose of this report has been (1) to assemble the current literature on tests and measures of therapist–patient interactions; (2) to subject this literature to critical appraisal with the aim of making recommendations for practice, training and research; and (3) to establish benchmarks for standardisation, acceptability and routine use of such measures.
Authors' recommendations:
The findings from the report indicated that the therapist–patient interaction can be measured using a wide range of instruments of varying value. Due care should be taken in ensuring that the measure is suitable for the context in which it is to be used.
