Efficacy - RCTs, emphasis on internal validity through limiting types of patients, types of treatment through manuals, specific training, random assignment (Chambless et al., 1998; Lambert & Ogles, 2004)


Effectiveness - in real populations and can be used to address practical questions such as when, how, and with whom to use a specific treatment (Rush, 2009)

Fervor for ESTs is thought to have begun with Paul, 1967 article. Why?

Questioned which treatments work best under what conditions, what time, what setting, which type if client, what type if disorder, etc.

What is relative efficacy?

How well a treatment works in comparison to an existing treatment

Brooks-Harris argue for 8 routes to integration, what are the primary 3 argued by most?

Theoretical integration: combines 2+ theories into a more complex tx. Synthesis involves reconciling underlying assumptions


Technical eclecticism: using a combo of techniques that work well together, without a well defined theoretical synthesis. May have one foundational theory and integrate other techniques.


Common factors: based on a core of healing elements shared across theories and techniques

Common factors healing elements shared across techniques and theories

corrective emotional experience, warmth, empathy, unconditional positive regard, hope, trust, persuasion, challenging misconceptions, changing schemas, restoring morale, providing new experiences, giving accurate feedback
