Abstract
This paper discusses the introduction of a computerized integrated inf ormation system as a tool to monitor and evaluate the process and outc omes of treatment interventions. It presents the introduction of such a system into a marital and family counselling agency in Israel and di scusses the system's potential and under-utilization stemming from the difficulty of convincing the agency staff to make full use of it.
