    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Psychotherapy Research

    Background:

    • Previous research by Smith, Glass, and Miller analyzed 475 controlled studies on psychotherapy benefits.
    • A reexamination of this data focused on specific patient groups and treatment-seeking individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To statistically integrate findings from controlled trials on psychotherapy efficacy.
    • To assess the effectiveness of psychotherapy for neuroses, phobias, and emotional-somatic complaints.

    Main Methods:

    • Meta-analytic technique applied to 81 controlled trials.
    • Inclusion criteria focused on specific patient diagnoses and treatment-seeking behavior.

    Main Results:

    • Psychotherapy demonstrated significant efficacy, with the average patient's condition improving beyond that of 77% of untreated controls.
    • A low rate of relapse was observed within the first two years post-treatment.
    • Behavioral and psychodynamic verbal therapies appeared more effective than other therapeutic approaches.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings provide robust evidence supporting the efficacy of psychotherapy.
    • While the relationship between illness severity and therapy choice requires further investigation, it does not invalidate the overall positive results.
    • Behavioral and psychodynamic therapies show particular promise.
