Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to determine the conceptual basis of measures of the patient-professional relationship used in routine mental health services research by reviewing their face, content and construct validity. METHOD: A comprehensive literature search identified measures of the relationship used in mental health services research. The conceptual basis of each identified measure was identified by a review of measures' authors assessments of face, content and construct validity plus item analysis of the measures themselves. RESULTS: The search identified 15 measures. The seven developed in psychotherapy were likely to be better validated conceptually; most were based on therapeutic alliance models. Measures developed specifically for mental health services were based on a wider range of models including global assessments of the relationship. CONCLUSION: Most of the better validated measures originate in psychotherapy, but there is limited evidence for their validity in general mental health services. Four measures are recommended.
