The assessment of the outcome of psychotherapy has been a well-researched and well-debated topic, dating, in its modern form, from the early 1950s. Psychologists were centrally involved in developing the empirical evaluation of psychotherapy. The American Psychological Association, with funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, held three major psychotherapy research conferences between 1958 and 1966 (Rubinstein & Parloff, 1959; Shlien, Hunt, Matarazzo, & Savage, 1968; Strupp & Luborsky, 1962). These conferences helped to create a cadre of researchers to scientifically examine the process and outcome of psychotherapy (Strupp, 1993). Detailed examinations of this evolving area of research were published in handbook-form by Bergin and Garfield (cf. Bergin & Garfield, 1971, 1994; Garfield & Bergin, 1978, 1986).By 1980, the statement “psychotherapy, as a generic treatment process, is demonstrably more effective than no treatment” represented a broad general consensus of the available empirical data (Luborsky, Singer, & Luborsky, 1975; Smith & Glass, 1977; Smith, Glass, & Miller, 1980; VandenBos, 1986; VandenBos & Pino, 1980). Most psychotherapy outcome research since that time has explored the comparative effectiveness among alternative intervention options, and/or has focused on specific intervention techniques designed to address particular targeted symptoms or disorders.(Lipsey and Wilson 1993) presented a detailed review of the effectiveness of psychological interventions in general—across many types of interventions, in differing settings, with varied behaviors.
