The graph shows the results of clients scoring how they felt at the beginning of at least two sessions. This gives a comparison of before and after changes. The results have been collated from completed evaluations of 250 clients during a three year period.
Do you see the green dots on the green background? These are the clients who improved by a significant amount (more than 5 points) or completely recovered (to a score of less than 10). These green dots are over 85% of the total.
There are a few dots (red and green) close to the sloping central line. These are the clients who did not change over the therapy by a meaningful degree. Many scored a little better and a few scored a little worse.
Those dots closer to the right side represent clients who came to me highly distressed while those toward the left-hand side were less distressed at their first session.
There is just one red dot on the red background. This means that over this period, there was one client who was feeling significantly worse at the final session. Fortunately her level of distress both before and after was quite low.
