“…Two RCTs revealed that clients exposed to expressive-experiential therapies exhibited higher rates of deterioration than did those in either no-treatment (Beutler, Frank, Schieber, Calvert, & Gaines, 1984) or alternative-treatment conditions (Mohr et al, 1990). Because the latter study did not contain a no-treatment control group, however, conclusions regarding therapy-induced deterioration must be viewed cautiously.…”

The phrase primum non nocere (“first, do no harm”) is a well-accepted credo of the medical and mental health professions. Although emerging data indicate that several psychological treatments may produce harm in significant numbers of individuals, psychologists have until recently paid little attention to the problem of hazardous treatments. I critically evaluate and update earlier conclusions regarding deterioration effects in psychotherapy, outline methodological obstacles standing in the way of identifying potentially harmful therapies (PHTs), provide a provisional list of PHTs, discuss the implications of PHTs for clinical science and practice, and delineate fruitful areas for further research on PHTs. A heightened emphasis on PHTs should narrow the scientist-practitioner gap and safeguard mental health consumers against harm. Moreover, the literature on PHTs may provide insight into underlying mechanisms of change that cut across many domains of psychotherapy. The field of psychology should prioritize its efforts toward identifying PHTs and place greater emphasis on potentially dangerous than on empirically supported therapies.

“…subscale of the FIRo-B (Beutler et al, 1984). It should be noted, however, that these latter studies examined the effects on outcome of reactance alone, rather than in the context of any potential interactional effects related to therapy directiveness, which may have obscured the presence of any such relationship.…”

“…They were selected from a larger pool of subjects on whom data were collected in 1980 and 1981, as part of an ongoing research project on inpatient group psychotherapy (Beutler et al, 1984). At that time, data were obtained on 176 essentially consecutively admitted psychiatric inpatients, representing approximately 60% of total ward admissions for the period.…”

“…The Global Symptom Index (GSI) subscale, obtained from the SCL-90-R completed by the patient at discharge, was therefore selected for use as the single score measure of posttreatment status in overall patient symptomatology. The GSI scale, which provides a measure of general symptom severity, had accounted for 70% of patient variation in specific symptom dimensions in previous research with these data (Beutler et al, 1984) • This posttreatment scale value (GSI -DC) was designated as the dependent variable for the second regression analysis assessing outcome effects.…”
