In 2004, the American Psychiatric Association's Committee on Research on Psychiatric Treatments appointed a subcommittee to investigate the status of empirical evidence with regard to psychodynamic psychotherapy.
As a part of this effort, the committee developed a rating scale designed to assess the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of psychotherapy.
A 25-item RCT of Psychotherapy Quality Rating Scale was generated by expert consensus. Interrater reliability, internal consistency, and validity testing were undertaken using 7 trained raters.
A PubMed search was conducted to locate all RCTs of psychotherapies identified by their authors as being "psychodynamic" or "psychoanalytic" in origin and implementation.
A total of 69 RCTs were independently rated by 2 raters.
The scale was found to have good interrater reliability (total score intraclass correlation = 0.76), internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = .87), and external validity.
This scale establishes a new standard for the design and execution of psychotherapy RCTs and provides a systematic empirical method for evaluating the quality of published RCTs.
2004 年，美国精神病学协会治疗研究委员会任命了一个小组委员会，调查精神动力心理治疗实证证据的现状。
作为这项工作的一部分，委员会开发了一个评分量表，旨在评估心理治疗的随机对照试验（RCT）的质量。
通过专家共识生成了 25 项心理治疗质量评定量表的 RCT。使用 7 名经过培训的评分者进行了评分者间信度、内部一致性和有效性测试。
对 PubMed 进行了检索，以定位作者确定为“精神动力”或“精神分析”起源和实施的所有心理治疗的 RCT。
共有 69 项 RCT 由 2 名评分者独立进行评分。
该量表具有良好的评分者间信度（总分组内相关系数=0.76）、内部一致性（Cronbach α=0.87）和外部有效性。
该量表为心理治疗 RCT 的设计和实施确立了新的标准，并为评估已发表 RCT 的质量提供了系统的经验方法。
