Highly effective therapists are clinicians who systematically achieve excellent therapeutic outcomes. However, variables that could explain this performance still unknown. To identify these variables (i.e., definition, objective measurements; and the degree to which the independent variables measure what it claims) could help to know more about highly effective therapists’ performance. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted. Publications between 2000 and 2020 -from Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, PsycInfo, Google Scholar and ProQuest Research Library databases- were included. After analyzing 2784 empirical works, 31 studies have met the inclusion criteria. This systematic review allowed to identify, summarize, and define almost 50 variables that could predict therapists’ effects. The need to increase construct validity, to improve empirical designs, and to measure therapist-client interaction is discussed. Los terapeutas altamente eficaces son aquellos que logran sistemáticamente elevados niveles de éxito terapéutico. Sin embargo, aunque se contraste empíricamente dicha eficacia inter-terapeuta, todavía no se conocen cuáles son las conductas que explican este desempeño diferenciado. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las variables asociadas a estos terapeutas altamente eficaces, sus definiciones, los parámetros de medida de éxito y la precisión con la que se miden los constructos de interés. Para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática (RS) con publicaciones entre los años 2000 y 2020 de las bases de datos Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, PsycInfo, Google Académico y ProQuest Research Library. Se seleccionaron 2784 artículos empíricos, de los cuales 31 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Los principales resultados muestran que hay casi 50 variables predictoras del efecto del terapeuta. Se resume y se define cada una de estas variables psicológicas, y se concluye que para lograr explicar el alto nivel de éxito inter-terapeuta es necesario incrementar la validez de constructo de las variables predictivas, adecuar el diseño de las investigaciones e incluir datos con respecto a la interacción entre el terapeuta y su cliente.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
