In this commentary, we address the critical importance of the research literature documenting therapist differences in skill and outcomes. In particular, we focus on the implications of therapist differences for patient-centered decision making, including the matching of patients to specific psychotherapists who have empirically-based track records of positive performance. In addition, we present preliminary results from a grant supported study of patients' values and preferences regarding the use of provider performance track records in routine mental health care decision making.
在本评论中，我们阐述了研究文献记录治疗师在技能和治疗结果方面差异的至关重要性。具体而言，我们关注治疗师差异对以患者为中心的决策制定的影响，包括将患者与具有基于实证的积极表现记录的特定心理治疗师进行匹配。此外，我们展示了一项由拨款支持的研究的初步结果，该研究涉及患者在常规心理健康护理决策中对使用提供者表现记录的价值观和偏好。
