Abstract:	This article describes the Collaborative Outcomes Research Project (CORP) in which consumers and mental health professionals worked together as colleagues in designing, conducting, analyzing and writing up a project on client experiences of therapy. It shows the richness that collaboration with consumers can bring to the exploration of therapy outcomes and satisfaction with mental health services. Phase I focused on developing the methodology, generating research questions, and recruiting participants to become co-researchers. In Phase 2, the research team applied the outcomes of Phase I to explore a further group of consumers' experiences of therapy. A previous article (Byas, Hills, Meech, et al., 2002) details the philosophical and theoretical implications of collaborative research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
