Is Therapy Art or Science? v A quick pretest: v A) Therapists should follow their clinical intuition when deciding how to respond to clients v B) Therapists should stick to a manual of established practices when deciding how to respond to clients
Is Therapy Art or Science? v A quick pretest: v A) The most important part of therapy is maintaining a good relationship with the client v B) The most important part of therapy is achieving measurable improvements in the client’s symptoms or functioning
Is Therapy Art or Science? v A quick pretest: v A) It is impossible to quantify the mechanisms and outcomes of therapy because there are too many individual differences in clients and therapists v B) It is necessary to quantify the mechanisms and outcomes of therapy to understand what works, for whom, and how

What does it mean for therapy to WORK? } Two processes: } IDIOGRAPHIC: Is the treatment I’m providing to this particular client producing the changes I’m hoping to produce? } NOMOTHETIC : Does a particular kind of treatment work for clients with certain kinds of problems/disorders/characteristics ?
What does it mean for therapy to WORK? } What outcomes are possible? } The patient gets better } There is no change } The patient gets worse } Mixed outcomes (better in some ways, worse in others) } Problem = who decides? } Duration of effects? } Acute relief: Get well } Long-term relief: Stay well (being “cured”)
What does it mean for therapy to WORK? } What outcomes are we looking for in therapy? As a clinician… As a policy maker… As a client…

Types of Evidence Pre-post designs : What are the problems? v We know it worked but don’t know why v Spontaneous remission/passage of time v Regression to the mean v Many of the problems with anecdotal still apply v Researchers have cognitive biases v Overgeneralization (if it worked in this study, it will always work) v Affiliation with the type of therapy
Types of Evidence How do we get around this? v Experimental designs with a CONTROL group v The gold standard for evaluating treatments is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) v RCT = An experiment in which patients are randomly assigned to the treatment of interest OR to one or more comparison conditions
Random Assignment v Random assignment is a procedure used in experiments to create multiple study groups, that include participants with similar characteristics so that the groups are equivalent at the beginning of the study. v Planned – groups allocated before treatment

ESTs: Effectiveness “Treatment efficacy studies involve methodological efforts to maximize the internal validity of a study, . . . such as random assignment to treatment and control conditions, training of therapists to a specified level of competence in providing the treatment, and ensuring that all participants have the condition that the treatment was designed to address. Treatment effectiveness studies , on the other hand, strive to maximize external validity while maintaining an adequate level of internal validity . . . Most commonly, efforts to enhance external validity involve locating the treatment study within clinical service sites that provide ongoing health services, thus using clinicians who are routinely providing psychological services and patients who have been referred to the clinical settings” (Hunsley, 2007, p. 117)

Class Exercise Vignette #1: Dr. Logaria s Treatment for Long-Talkers Dr. Logaria developed a new treatment to reduce excessive talking in long talkers . Her treatment (Talk Reduction Therapy; TRT) was based on the theory that people talk excessively because they have developed a style of life that involves seeking dominance, as evidenced by monopolizing conversations. As such, the treatment involved helping the client to recognize their style of life and develop a more pro-social style of life. She assigned the first 40 long- talkers to enter her clinic to TRT and the next 40 to a wait-list control condition. The therapists consisted of bachelor level psychology undergrads recruited from the local university. Dr. Logaria met with the therapists at the end of the study to ask them what types of interventions they used during treatment. The assessors evaluated clients’ talk-time percentages and other aspects of talking behaviour at several intervals over the 4-month treatment. TRT resulted in greater reductions in talking frequency and length, but this finding did not occur in a second study conducted at another lab by Dr. Abrupt. Nevertheless, Dr. Logaria criticized the second study and concluded that her treatment was efficacious.

Class Exercise Vignette #2: Dr. Hope s Treatment for Suicide Dr. Hope developed a new treatment to reduce suicidal behaviour. His treatment (Behavioural Control Therapy; BCT) was based on the theory that people attempt suicide because they have difficulty inhibiting impulsive, self-destructive behaviour. As such, the treatment involved reducing suicide attempts by learning how to control impulsive behaviour. He randomly assigned 50 suicidal individuals to his treatment and 50 suicidal individuals to an alternative, well-established treatment for suicidal behaviour. The assessors in his clinic (under his supervision) were given a list of the clients being treated and the therapists treating them, and conducted assessments of client functioning at several intervals throughout the 1-year treatment. The therapists were well-trained and their adherence to treatment was monitored. The findings indicated that BCT performed better than the alternative treatment in reducing suicide attempts. Dr. Hope concluded that his treatment was efficacious and specific .
