Expanding the lens of evidence-based practice in psychotherapy: A common factors perspective.

Abstract: In this article, we examine the science and policy implications of the common factors perspective (CF; Frank & Frank, 1993; Wampold, 2007). As the empirically supported treatment (EST) approach, grounded in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), is the received view (see Baker, McFall, & Shoham, 2008; McHugh & Barlow, 2012), we make the case for the CF perspective as an additional evidence-based approach for understanding how therapy works, but also as a basis for improving the quality of mental health services.… Show more

“…Desde entonces, varios investigadores han contribuido a identificar distintas categorías de factores comunes que han orientado desarrollos conceptuales e impulsado estudios empíricos. El defensor más conocido hoy en día de esta visión de la investigación en psicoterapia es Bruce Wampold (Laska, Gurman y Wampold, 2014;Wampold, 2015). Con el tiempo, el número de factores comunes que se han descrito ha ido aumentando hasta acercarse al centenar (Grencavage y Norcross, 1990).…”

“…Placebo (expectancy) and specific techniques each account for only 15% of the outcome variance. Laska, Gurman, and Wampold (2014) find that common factors account for significant portions of outcome variance (e.g., therapeutic alliance accounts for 7.5%; empathy, 9.0%; and goal consensus/collaboration' 11.5%), whereas specific ingredients of therapeutic approaches are far less important (specific ingredients found by dismantling, 0.0%, and adherence to protocol, less than 0.1%). Although the article includes detailed accounts of therapy sessions, most of them consist of technical interventions and their outcomes.…”
