Systematic treatment selection, Study notes of Systematics

Systematic Treatment Selection (STS) is an evidence-based method that guides the clinician in

treatment planning based on the client’s qualities and problem characteristics. There are 6

variables that said to be predictors for therapy outcome. These dimensions include predisposing

characteristics of the client, treatment features, relationship variables, and selection of

intervention. This method starts with assessing the client’s functional impairment, social support,

problem complexity, the client’s way of coping, resistance levels, and level of distress.

Integrates assessment, conceptualization and treatment planning.
