Abstract
This paper reports a piece of practitioner research to explore the use of a Session Bridging Worksheet (SBW) with clients on their homework adherence, experience of their therapist, and clinical outcomes. Clients were divided into two groups randomly. One group received CBT as normal (TAU group) and the other group received CBT and used a session bridging worksheet (SBW group). The perception of the therapist’s ability to address potential barriers was better when the SBW was used by the client and this seems to have had a small positive effect on homework adherence. Differences in symptom measures (BDI, BAI, BHS) between the two groups are inconclusive. The limitations of the design of the study are discussed with suggestions for future research.
