“…Unlike qualitative reviews, meta-analytic studies have the advantage of identifying a quantitative measure of the strength of the effect. The value of meta-analytic review results is dependent on the degree to which they have methodological and conceptual validity (Brown, 1987). Unfortunately, current large-scale review efforts are rarely systematic or routinely published.…”

“…Two types of review methods are common in counseling outcome research. Meta-analytic studies (quantitative reviews) combine the results of various clinical trial studies producing quantitative measures of effect size across multiple studies (Brown, 1987). Effect size represents an estimation of the strength of the intervention being studied in the intervention group compared with the control group.…”

“…Metaanalytic studies are appealing because they produce effect sizes that measure the magnitude of effects. Wampold (2001) and others (Brown, 1987;Rosenthal, 1985;Shadish & Baldwin, 2002) have noted that meta-analysis is an invaluable tool to translate the diverse findings of individual clinical trial studies into trends that have practice implications. The work of Wampold in particular is an outstanding scholarly analysis of the common factors versus specific model factors in therapeutic outcomes.…”

A number of scholars have proposed the common factors perspective as the future direction of marriage and family therapy (MFT). Although intuitively appealing, the case for the common factors perspective is not as clear-cut as proponents portray. In its current form, the common factors perspective overlooks the multilevel nature of practice, the diversity of clients and settings, and the complexity of therapeutic change. In contrast, comprehensive process-based change models are an alternative to the limitations of common factors. In this article, we consider the limitations of the common factors perspective and propose the necessary and sufficient components and processes that might comprise comprehensive, multilevel, process-based therapeutic change models in MFT.

“…If one takes a broad-based metaanalytic approach, then the answer is "Yes." Studies that include age ranges 2-18 years and cut across modalities and types ofproblem as recently as 1995 show mean effect sizes ranging from 0.71 to 0.84 (100)(101)(102)(103)(104), which is similar to outcomes in metaanalytic studies of adult psychotherapy. The average child after treatment functioned better than did 78%…”
