Abstract

More than one hundred years have passed since “the talking cure” was introduced as a treatment for psychological problems. Considerable scientific effort over the last 60 years has been spent to determine whether psychotherapy, in general, is effective, and if so, what factors underlie the mechanism of change. With the growing demand of the health care system and the public in general for accountability, there has been a continuous pressure on the mental health field to provide empirical support for the treatments we offer to our patients. This has given rise to the initiatives of the American Psychological Association and American Psychiatric Association to formulate practice guidelines and identify empirically supported interventions and treatments.
