Beyond Effectiveness

Uses of Consumer-Oriented Criteria in Defining Treatment Success

  • Chapter
Handbook of Effective Psychotherapy

Part of the book series: The Plenum Behavior Therapy Series ((PBTS))

Abstract

Since the rise of behavioral and cognitive-behavioral treatments in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the mental health field has become increasingly empirically oriented, relying on experimentally designed outcome studies to demonstrate impact relative to no treatment and among alternative treatments. This empirical orientation to assessing therapy has had a multitude of benefits, including enhancement of psychotherapy’s credibility (and associated increased service provision and insurance coverage), identification of the most effective treatments, clear descriptions of therapy procedures and associated dissemination of the most effective treatments, and increased efforts to refine treatments and improve their impact.
