Bibliometric analyses are commonly used to document publication trends over time; however, this methodology has not been used to investigate possible trends concerning publishing about psychotherapy brands. In this study, the authors sought to identify the publication trends of peer-reviewed articles about 30 psychotherapy brands.
Analyses were focused on the past 50 years and on each decade from 1970 to 2019. All searches were performed between October 2018 and January 2019 on the EbscoHost platform. Two databases were selected for the searches: PsycINFO and PubMed.
In the 28,594 articles reviewed, most published articles concerned cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and five brands accounted for almost 78% of all publications: CBT, psychoanalysis, family systems therapy, behavioral therapy, and cognitive therapy. Three trends were identified across decades: five therapies consistently yielded the largest number of publications, the number of publications focused on therapies with less research support declined from the 1970s to the 1990s, and publications about therapies with more of a research basis increased in the 1990s through the 2010s. Publications on meditation and mindfulness presented the most salient growth area for all psychotherapies across the 5 decades. A few psychotherapy brands have dominated the publishing realm during the past 50 years and across each decade.
Possible explanations for these publication trends were considered, including the emergence of the evidence-based therapy movement and various sociohistorical changes. Potential psychotherapy publications trends in the future are discussed.
文献计量分析通常用于记录一段时间内的出版趋势；然而，这种方法尚未用于调查有关心理治疗品牌的出版可能趋势。在本研究中，作者试图确定关于30种心理治疗品牌的同行评审文章的出版趋势。
分析聚焦于过去50年以及1970年至2019年的每一个十年。所有检索于2018年10月至2019年1月在EbscoHost平台上进行。选择了两个数据库进行检索：PsycINFO和PubMed。
在审查的28594篇文章中，大多数发表的文章涉及认知行为疗法（CBT），五个品牌占所有出版物的近78%：CBT、精神分析、家庭系统疗法、行为疗法和认知疗法。几十年间确定了三种趋势：五种疗法始终产生最多的出版物，关注研究支持较少疗法的出版物数量从20世纪70年代到90年代有所下降，而关于有更多研究基础疗法的出版物在20世纪90年代到21世纪10年代有所增加。在这5个十年中，关于冥想和正念的出版物是所有心理治疗中最显著的增长领域。在过去50年以及每一个十年中，少数心理治疗品牌主导了出版领域。
考虑了这些出版趋势的可能解释，包括循证治疗运动的出现和各种社会历史变化。讨论了未来潜在的心理治疗出版物趋势。
