The Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR) is devoted to the
development and dissemination of research, as well as the
integration of empirical, theoretical, and clinical knowledge in
psychotherapy. A highlight of the SPR annual meeting is the
presidential address, wherein the president delivers what many view
as the most important presentation of their career. In Visions of
Psychotherapy, Bernhard Strauss, Jacques Barber, and Louis
Castonguay, three recent past presidents, compile the preceding 20
presidential addresses from SPR into a single volume. Then, the
living presidents (19 of the 20) comment on how the visions they
described in their addresses have developed over time.
This book examines the training and supervision of
psychotherapists, with a focus on psychotherapy efficacy and key
issues facing psychotherapy training programs today. While some
therapists are more effective than others, good training and
supervision can provide all clinicians with the skills and tools to
become effective practitioners. Considerable research has shown the
broad efficacy of psychotherapy, but there are still many clients
who do not fully benefit from therapy, some who don't benefit at
all, and even some who get worse as a consequence of therapy. The
overall goal of training and supervision, and efforts to study
these practices, should be to enhance the current degree of
effectiveness that has been reached in psychotherapy. This book
offers innovative knowledge on how to better understand and improve
training by relying on the reflections, research discoveries, and
collaborative work of psychotherapy scholars who represent a
diversity of theoretical orientations, methodological expertise,
and levels of experience.

The wide gap between science and practice in psychotherapy is due
in part to the one-way direction that has mostly defined the
connection between researchers and clinicians, with researchers
generating empirical knowledge with the hope that practitioners
will implement it in their working environment. This traditional
approach has not been optimal in addressing the day-to-day concerns
of clinicians, or in providing easily generalizable practice
guidelines in clinical routine. This book offers an alternative
approach to psychotherapy research, based on a partnership between
clinicians and researchers in different aspects of the decision,
design, implementation, and dissemination of studies conducted in
day-to-day practice. More specifically, it describes how to conduct
practice-oriented research (POR) by presenting studies and lessons
learned (in terms of obstacles faced, strategies used to overcome
problems, benefits earned, and general recommendations) by eleven
groups of who have been involved in POR in different settings
around the world. The book provides tools to help clinicians be
active participants in conducting clinically relevant studies, and
set the agenda for future research. It seeks to foster
collaboration between researchers and practitioners, generating
knowledge that can improve our understanding of the process of
change and the impact of psychotherapy. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Psychotherapy Research.
