Psychotherapy- Chapter 12 Flashcards
clinical practice guidelines:
a summary of scientific research, dealing with the diagnosis, assessment, and/or treatment of a disorder, designed to provide guidance to clinicians providing services to patients with the disorder.
empirically based principles of therapeutic change:
client, therapist, therapeutic relationship, and treatment factors that research has found to be associated with successful treatment.
evidence-based psychotherapy relationships:
aspects of the therapeutic relationship that research has found to be associated with successful treatment.
integrative treatment models:
theoretical models that explicitly incorporate into their framework aspects of multiple theoretical approaches and, frequently, common factors.
benchmarking strategy: .
the use of data from empirical studies to provide a comparison against which the effectiveness of clinical services can be gauged.
clinical practice guidelines:
a summary of scientific research, dealing with the diagnosis, assessment, and/or treatment of a disorder, designed to provide guidance to clinicians providing services to patients with the disorder.
effect size:
a standardized metric, typically expressed in standard deviation units or correlations, that allows the results of research studies to be combined and analyzed.
empirically supported treatment
: a psychotherapy that has been found, in a series of randomized controlled trials or single-participant designs, to be efficacious in the treatment of a specific condition.
meta-analysis:
a set of statistical procedures for quantitatively summarizing the results of a research domain.
open trial:
a type of initial, exploratory treatment study in which no control group is used and, typically, few participant exclusion criteria are applied
. randomized controlled trial:
an experiment in which research participants are randomly assigned to one of two or more treatment conditions
H.Eysenck (1952) and Effects
“Effects of Therapy, an Evaluation”
- Psychoanalysis vs. Mixture of therapy vs. no therapy
- NT> mixed > Psycho ( % of improvement )
- no randomized controlled trials
- effects of therapy –> small to non-existent
Smith and Glass (1977 + 1980)
” how big are the effects”
- mean effect sizes = .68 (1977) & .85 (1980)
Efficacy
’ Does the treatment produce change?’
- control research with Random Assignment (RCT)
- independent research teams at least TWO dif studies
or …
‘possibly’ = 1 study or by the same one team
- cost effectiveness ***
- consideration fro short-term vs long-term
Specificity
-superior to control for nonspecific processes (ie. cognitive therapy vs. chatting with friend)
