This book could not have been conceptualized or published 20 years
ago. Indeed, it is doubtful that we could have organized the
material for this handbook 10 years ago. Over the last 20 years,
however, the painstaking efforts of many clinical researchers
working with a variety of resistive psychopathologies have resulted
in specific psychotherapies and pharmacotherapies that are
effective with a significant propor tion of patients, at least for
some of the disorders. Much clinical research remains to be carried
out in the forthcoming decades. But now that we are nearing the
21st century, at least some statement about efficacy can be made.
In 1967, Gordon Paul succinctly stated that the ultimate goal of
treatment outcome research is to determine "What treatment, by
whom, is most effective for this individual with that specific
problem, and under which set of circumstances" (p. 111). At that
time, empirical evaluations of psychosocial and pharmacologic
treatments were few and far between. Methodological strategies for
determining treatment effectiveness were also in the formative
stage, as exemplified by introduc tion of control groups that
received inactive interventions (i. e. , placebo) and the
relatively recent practice of comparing two or more treatments in
addition to placebo. In the almost three decades since Paul's
oft-quoted dictum, both the quantity and the quality of treatment
outcome research with adults have increased dramati cally.
