The Pros And Cons Of The Dodo Bird Piminet

The Dodo bird verdict terminology, which was inspired by “Everybody's won and all must have prices” phrase in Alice's in Wonderland novel, describes the attitude that all talking therapies are equally effective and common factors shared by all of them are more important than specific technical differences (Rosenzweig,1936). In response to that a strong statement, in 1975, when one of the first comparative studies reported that there are significant differences in the outcomes among different talking therapies (Luborsky, L., Singer, B. ,1975), it triggered brand new studies to support or to contradict the notion of the Dodo bird verdict. Currently, there are many studies revealing that some talking therapies treatments produce significantly better outcome rates for particular mental disorders when compared to other treatments (Kring, A. , Johnson, S., Davinson,G., Neale, J., …show more content…
It is essential to determine which of these evidence on literature are hierarchically more reliable in order to approve or disprove the assumption in a first view. In order to better conceptualize the topic, it would be useful to specify this vague and fogy Dodo bird verdict topic into its particular “sub-components”. For instance, it could be informal if we would specify and simplify the assumption as follows: if a x talking therapy is more efficient than a y talking therapy to a specific disorder, the Dodo bird verdict's equivalence is broken. Furthermore, by dividing that question into sub-questions and smaller areas of focus, like the previously mentioned one, it would bring insightful information on each individual comparability. As it seems, there is a need to further understand each approaches' impact not only for categorization purposes depended on the mental issue involved but in first place to being able achieve meaningful
