| Summary |
For decades, psychotherapists have struggled to evaluate the effects of therapy on their patients. Which psychotherapeutic interventions work best with which psychological disorders? And how do patients change as a result? Although there has been widespread study of therapeutic efficacy, the diversity in outcome measures has yielded little practical information. [This book] brings together experts in psychotherapy and leading figures in clinical research who explore what might appear in a core battery. /// Discussion is organized around 4 key questions: / What should a core battery look like? What needs to be measured? What criteria should be adopted in selecting measures? What measures should be used? This volume will be a valuable resource for psychotherapists, psychotherapy researchers, administrators, insurance providers, and policy makers.
