The aim of this paper is to stimulate thoughts about employing an instrument such as the SCORE-15 as an aid in clinicians’ daily work. Already validated for research in Family and Couple Therapy, this easy to administer instrument makes it possible to obtain an immediate perception of family/couple characteristics, their process of change throughout treatment, and the results of therapeutic interventions. We present a study conducted over a 5-year period during which 69 families and couples received treatment at the same training school in family and relational therapy. Participants completed the SCORE-15 during treatment. We compared participants’ responses from the first and last administration of the questionnaire (n=171) after dividing the sample according to the role of the members within the family/couple and the type of therapeutic setting (family, couple, or parental). Using a specifically designed version of the SCORE, we also compared the therapists’ perception of change with that of the family members. This comparison opens the possibility of using SCORE in clinical practice. Lastly, we present a clinical case to illustrate the utility of SCORE as an instrument of orientation and frequent feedback in therapeutic work.
