Clinicians produce life-changing work everyday with their clients. However the achievements of therapy are rarely recorded in a meaningful way.
All artists—whether they are musicians, sculptors or even performers—derive some sense of satisfaction from the finished product. They have produced a piece of work. Something great, something beautiful, perhaps something imperfect, but complete and observable nevertheless.
And yet everyday, thousands of mental health professionals create masterpieces that pass unrecorded and unappreciated. Creations that may be life-altering for the client, but are often transient to the therapist who may not see the client again after they depart the consulting room. Incorporating a treatment outcomes portfolio into your practice is not just about documentation—it’s about recognizing and celebrating your professional evolution.
Becoming a skilled therapist is difficult. It takes years of learning to understand what to say and how to say it. When to lean forward and when to be still. Whether to confront or whether to console. Such knowledge constitutes the artistic genius of the therapist. Gifts that uplift, soothe and transform people.
Sadly, mental health practitioners are often encouraged to downplay their achievements. They are asked to be conservative when describing competencies, specialisations and outcomes. Some practitioners, such as psychologists, are even prohibited from displaying client testimonials on websites or other advertising materials.
Such restrictions make it tough to curate a persisting body of work—one that can be built up over time, observed and treasured.
Another barrier is the technical challenging of collecting and storing data securely. Which data should be stored and where? And how do you find the time to do this in the midst of a busy clinical schedule?
