How is the CFP conducted?

Clients who agree to participate in the CFP are mailed a confidential questionnaire approximately four months and twelve months after their final session of P.S.H. Simple yes/no responses are asked for, with the invitation for further comments if so desired. Many people take the opportunity to provide observations (both positive and negative) which add valuable information to our research database. The survey takes approximately ten minutes for clients to complete, depending on how detailed their response is. The form is then returned in the reply envelope provided and clients remain completely anonymous unless they chose to add their name to the report. Even then however, their name is NEVER entered into the computer database.

Please note: Therapists receive only statistical information and comments which do not identify the client. Clients are NEVER identified to the therapists or to the training school.

Statistical in-house summaries are compiled from the questionnaires returned by clients The analysis of these results is distributed to ASTA members each quarter so that therapists can compare their individual figures with the group data. Members also receive an anonymous summary of comments written by clients. The data is also provided to approved P.S.H. training centres and used to fine tune the training. It is also of tremendous value during the therapists' compulsory, "Professional Development Program".
