Transforming the Internal World and Attachment reviews and
discusses four theories about what makes psychotherapy effective
across forms of treatment, treatment settings, and diagnostic
categories: mindfulness, mentalization, psychological mindedness,
and the attachment relationship. Geoff Goodman offers some
provisional hypotheses about therapeutic effectiveness and suggests
some ways of testing these hypotheses empirically, using
sophisticated assessment instruments that measure psychotherapy
process and outcome. Managed-care companies are withholding
reimbursements for treatments not considered "empirically
supported." Instead of engaging in horse races with randomized
controlled trials (RCTs), Goodman suggests that we need to
establish an empirical basis for the therapeutic effectiveness of
all forms of treatment, move beyond examining common factors such
as the therapeutic alliance, and turn our collective attention to
common factors that psychotherapy researchers often erroneously
promote as specific factors. Perhaps these so-called specific
factors produce therapeutic change regardless of the brand-name
treatment packages through which they are typically delivered.
These specific factors might also work better for particular groups
of patients with specific problem areas such as affect
dysregulation and impulsivity. In Volume I, Goodman explores the
empirical and clinical bases of these specific factors and outlines
their various influences on psychotherapy process and outcome.
