In this journal's first article, Strupp (1963) pointed to problems specifying independent and dependent variables as a source of slow progress in psychotherapy outcome research. This commentary agrees, shows how the concept of variable loses its meaning in psychotherapy research because of participants' responsiveness, and notes an alternative research strategy that does not depend on variables.
在本刊的第一篇文章中,Strupp(1963)指出,在心理治疗结果研究中,指定自变量和因变量存在问题,这是进展缓慢的一个根源。本评论表示赞同,指出由于参与者的反应性,心理治疗研究中变量的概念变得没有意义,并注意到一种不依赖变量的替代研究策略。
