Research evidence on psychotherapy outcome is both extensive and positive. However, the evidence is not responsive to the question. What kinds of psychotherapy are most effective for what kinds of problems? It is demonstrably feasible to conduct scientifically meritorious studies of process and outcome; however, the prospect that rigorous research evidence will soon provide a credible list of "certified" psychotherapy techniques and procedures for the treatment of specific disorders is poor. The author presents recommendations for what the doctor can do for the policy maker "until the researcher comes."
关于心理治疗效果的研究证据丰富且呈积极态势。然而，这些证据并未回答“何种心理治疗对何种问题最为有效”这一问题。开展具有科学价值的过程与效果研究显然是可行的；然而，严谨的研究证据很快就能提供一份可信的“经认证”的心理治疗技术和程序清单，用于治疗特定疾病的前景却不容乐观。作者针对在“研究人员到来之前”医生能为政策制定者做些什么提出了建议。
