YES: Psychologist Benjamin Hanson

agrees that psychotherapeutic techniques clearly differ among the various approaches but he argues that all such psychotherapy techniques produce similar outcomes

NO: Psychologist Jedidiah Siev, Jonathan Huppert, and Dianne Chambless

assert that outcomes among the various psychotherapies differ primarily because one technique or therapy is better than the other

How does this debate impact this discipline?

if the yes argument is correct that one technique is as effective as others why would psychologists attempt to expand or create new forms of therapy?

How does this debate impact this discipline?

if the no then what motivates a psychologist or what should motivate a psychologist to promote or use one therapy over the other?

The Dodo Manifesto Nelson (2005)

The Dodo hypothesis originated with Rosenzweig


(1936) when he published - some implicit common factors in diverse methods of psychotherapy



ronsenzweig suggested that the success of therapy was do to factors such as relationship and personalities rather than specific techniques

Earlier Dodo Hypothesis Work: Earliest Work

Jerome Frank (1950s)



psychotherapy was effective and that all produced the desired effect

Earlier Dodo Hypothesis Work:


Meta - Analysis

Statistical method for combining results from different studies


- several meta-analytic studies concurred with the work of Frank - psychotherapy was effective, the positive effect held across different types of therapy and disorders

Earlier Dodo Hypothesis Work:


NIMH Treatment of Depression Collaborative research program

- compared to the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, tricyclic antidepression Impramine plus clinical management and placebo pill plus clinical management


- not one treatment was more effective than the other


- long term therapy was more beneficial than short term therapy

IS CBT the Super- therapy?



Cognitive Behavior Therapy

- address dysfunctional emotions, maladaptive behavior, and cognitive processes


- uses a combo of behavioral and cognitive principles in therapy

IS CBT the super therapy?

Some Suggest that the idea of a super therapy to allegiance effects

IS CBT the super therapy?


How do we asses bias objectively

Matthews' 2004


- empirical evidence does not carry much weight because the data effects are construed through philosophical frameworks that are inherently subjective



if there are allegiance effects how do we eliminate them?

Common Factors



different approaches to psychotherapy and counseling have common components (those components account for outcome more than components that are unique to each approach)

4 common factors to all forms of psychotherapy (frank and frank 1993)

1. Relationships between the patient and the helper (confidence and desire of helper)


2. setting for therapy is appropriate (societal approval)


3. Rationale for patients distress included a resolution


4. Task that requires some effort by the patient was prescribed by the therapist

Common Factors


Miller, Duncan, & Hubble 1997 suggested that effectiveness of psychotherapy was due to 4 factors:

1.Extratherapeutic 40%- client characteristics and chance events


2. Therapeutic Relationships (30%)- therapist- client relationship


3. Placebo effect 15%- hope and expectancy


4. Technique 15% - structure vs. unstructured therapy


The Dodo Bird, Treatment Technique, and Disseminating Empirically Supported Treatments (Seiv, et. al 2009)

Aim of their article:


- provide historical context in terms previous attempts to respond to these contentions


- update on recent research


- variance accounted for by active ingredients (e.g., Technique)

Aggregation



Meta- Analysis

Statistical method for combining results from different studies

Aggregation



many studies have found differences between treatment orientation

Crits- Christoph (1997)

Aggregating various populations, disorders, and treatment may obscure differences in treatment outcomes



average of all measures does not accurately evaluate the efficacy of the treatment for individuals suffering from a specific disorder, and is likely artificially attenuating the magnitude of effect size

What and who is asking the question?

- What is the question that we are asking


- whos question are we asking


- do therapist and clients have different questions? (do some overlap, are some completely different)


- Seiv cited research comparing CBT and Relaxation for Panic Disorder and Generalized anxiety order (cbt outperformed relaxaion to panic disorders

How di we classify Bona fide

Siev points out issus which how wampfold defines Bona fide treatments (suggest this may impact results)


example wampold 1997


-relaxation is placebo for OCD


- relaxation is a bona fide treatment for GAD

Common Factors

What would your pie chart look like


- technique 10-15%


- expectancy, relationship and common factors (40%)


- Cirk et al. 2006


- therapist 5%


- technique 21%


- other factors 74%

Technique Effects

More likely to see technique effects in disorders that have the smallest placebo effects



challenging to determine the overall effect of technique without considering disorder and population


- howard 1999 - those who had special training in CBT for anxiety disorders were more likely to retain patients and they were less likely to receive treatment 1 yr later

Siev Summary



Many including Siev, et. al attempt to quantify the contributions of technique and other effects

in this article they attempted to:


- argue that the Dodo meta- analysis that aggregate across treatments, disorders and outcome mask, or attenuate differences between specific treatments or specific disorders


-discussed the problems with classification of Bona Fide


- Magnitude of techniques effects depends on disorder and population


- suggest that common factors such as skill, alliance ,and treatment expectancy likely influence by technique
