Abstract: Previous research shows generally low agreement concerning self-rating scales and assessments by staff regarding people considered to be ‘severely mentally ill’. The aims of this study were to measure the level of agreement between patients’ self-rating and key workers’ assessments, and to explore some of the factors that influence level of agreement. The results of questionnaires from 49 severely mentally ill persons concerning needs, therapeutic alliance, and self-esteem were compared with key workers’ estimates. Agreement was found regarding the number of unmet needs. Concerning met needs, therapeutic alliance and self-esteem, no significant agreements were found, however, for met needs, therapeutic alliance or self-esteem.
