Description

"Now a little over a century old, the field of psychotherapy finds itself in a strange position. We possess a rich body of theories and a lengthy list of empirically supported treatments that have demonstrated their efficacy at reducing human suffering. However, our theories and our treatments still fall short: research finds that about one-third of adult patients who enter treatment in a randomized controlled trial either do not benefit or worsen, and patients in naturalistic settings, particularly children, fare even worse (Lambert, 2013). Moreover, patients can only benefit from therapy if they are in it: as many as 20% of patients drop out of therapy prematurely (Swift & Greenberg, 2015)"--
