evaluation of various psychotherapies
Bei etwa 60% der abgeschlossenen Therapien zeigte sich eine reliable Besserung gegenüber der Eingangsbelastung.
The meaning is clear (how serious the patient's symptoms were at the beginning of his therapy), but I don't know how this is best said in English psycholingo. The author's English abstract translates Belastungsscore as "load score," but "load at intake" or something like that sounds very strange for Eingangsbelastung.
Thanks!

: It partly depends on what was wrong with the patient, but this fits anyway.

Comment: "I decided on this because it has the most votes from reliable experts. I think Johanna's idea sounds good, for a more academic-sounding translation, although most of the relevant Google Scholar hits refer back to one article (Flückiger et al.). I will give the client both options. Thanks everybody!"

intake distress
Results indicate that early positive intra- and interpersonal session experiences as reported by patients and therapists after the sessions explained 58% of variance of a composite outcome measure, taking intake distress and early response into account.
Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass frühe positive intra- und interpersonellen Sitzungserfahrungen, welche von Therapeuten und Patienten nach der Sitzung berichtet wurden, 58% der Varianz eines gemischten Outcome Kriteriums – unter Berücksichtigung der Eingangsbelastung und frühen Therapieeffekten –vorhersagen. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10503307.2012.693...
"intake distress" + therapy/treatment googles fairly well, i.e.
Predicting psychotherapy outcome based on therapist skill: A ... treatment outcome an epiphenomenon of intake distress and early response?

Note from asker:
| Actually I just found that "distress at intake" googles better. |
