A survey of psychotherapy research findings is digested into 6 broad conclusions, and implications for practice and research are drawn from them. They are: (a) Psychotherapy causes clients to become better or worse adjusted than controls, (b) Control Ss improve with time as a result of informal therapeutic encounters, (c) Therapeutic progress varies with therapist warmth, empathy, adjustment, and experience, (d) Client-centered therapy is the only interview-oriented method that has been validated by research, (e) Traditional therapies are seriously limited in effectiveness and are relevant for a small minority of disturbances, and (f) Behavior therapies have considerable promise for enhancing therapeutic effectiveness and should be utilized or experimented with more widely.
