Question

Which of the following are measurements of effective counseling?

A. information on recidivism

B. statistics on long-term, post-release follow-up

C. both a and b

D. none of the above

Answer 1

Recidivism is the tendency of a person to relapse into a previous condition or behavior.

Statistics on long-term post release follow up refers to the data collected on people after their therapy ended and they continued with their lives after resolving their issues in therapy.

The measurements of the effectiveness if counselling can be done by both of these methods as we need the data on how many people relapse after therapy and how people do after their therapy ends to assess whether the therapy was effective or not
