Abstract:
Most of the review studies, including meta-analyses that pay special attention to internal and external validity, support the efficacy of individual psychotherapy for children and adolescent. However, methodological flaws in existing research on outcome of this form of therapy prevents us from getting incontrovertible proof. This paper reviews these studies, emphasizes factors thought to be important to the outcome--variables such as the development process, family and environment, the young person's motivation for therapy, etc.--that have to be taken into consideration by researchers. Special recommendations for the design of future research are offered.
