Despite the fact that clinical researchers have turned increasingly to media advertisements in recent years to obtain sufficiently large and homogeneous samples for psychotherapy and psychopharmacological treatment outcome studies, it has not been clear to what extent it is possible to generalize from solicited to traditionally referred patient populations. To shed light on this topic, 14 studies that compared solicited and nonsoliticed patient groups treated or studied in clinical settings were reviewed. Findings suggest that it may be possible to generate relatively comparable samples of solicited and nonsolicited patients, in terms of pretreatment symptomatology, provided there is adequate screening. Although the existing data suggest that treatment response may also be similar across these groups, these data are too limited to permit conclusions regarding generalizability of treatment efficacy findings based on solicited patient samples. Possible implications for treatment outcome of differences found on two variables (presence of precipitants and duration of illness) are discussed.
