Research in Psychotherapy is a comprehensive synthesis and
assessment of the psychotherapeutic research literature for the use
of both researchers and those in clinical practice. It is designed
as a general reference work, an instruction guide, and a source of
information about specific aspects and problems of research. The
book consists of three parts. Part 1 discusses principles and
methods of research as they are applied to psychotherapy. It
provides general background material and principles to help
non-researchers appreciate some of the important problems that are
encountered. In Part 2, existing research on the effects of
psychotherapy and the determinants and correlates of outcome are
clustered and reviewed. Chapters 4 to 7 are concerned strictly with
a review and appraisal of controlled studies that were designed to
evaluate the effects of psychotherapy. Chapters 8 to 13 deal with a
large body of research on various factors associated with
therapeutic outcome--method, style, and technique variables;
patient, therapist, and time variables. Part 3 is concerned with
research on aspects of the therapeutic process and on the effect of
many of these same variables on the therapeutic interchange as
distinct from the outcome of therapy. Also discussed is research on
various therapeutic phenomena and conditions about which so much
has been written and so little really known. Research in
Psychotherapy was written in the conviction that clinical practice
should be influenced by research and that rigorous research that
meets acceptable experimental standards can be done on the field of
psychotherapy.
