Abstract(s)
Quality of life and well-being have gained increasing importance in
psychological assessment and psychological intervention, since research has
shown that psychopathology has a negative impact on quality of life and this
impact varies in degree and how the impact of the effects themselves is combined
(Stevanovic, 2013). In this sense, psychological interventions should not only be
aimed at reducing psychopathological symptoms, but also increasing quality of
life and well-being (Oliveira, Dias, Gonçalves, & Machado, 2008), assumed to be
a mediator between health and spirituality (Oliveira & Junges, 2012).
Over the last years, a remarkable development has been shown in the
study of psychotherapy outcome monitoring, defined as a systematic and
repeated assessment of psychological variables during the process of
psychological intervention; the psychological intervention process may change
as a result of feedback from the monitoring process as well (McAleavey,
Nordberg, Kraus, & Castonguay, 2012). Outcome monitoring contributes to an
individualized intervention with the client, adjusted to real needs.
This work aims to present the MIPA-Mobile project, directed to develop
and to test a new model for monitoring psychological intervention with
adolescents, based on a computer application, integrating information from
different key-informants.
