Abstract

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the journal, Psychotherapy Research, three former editors first look back at: (i) the controversial persistence of the Dodo verdict (i.e., the observation that all bona fide therapies seem equally effective); (ii) the connection between process and outcome; (iii) the move toward methodological pluralism; and (iv) the politicization of the field around evidence-based practice and treatment guidelines. We then look forward to the next 25 years, suggesting that it would be promising to focus on three areas: (i) systematic theory-building research; (ii) renewed attention to fine-grained study of therapist techniques; and (iii) politically expedient research on the outcomes of marginalized or emerging therapies.

In occasione del 25° anniversario della rivista, Psychotherapy Research, tre ex redattori riconsiderano innanzitutto: (i) il controverso persistere del verdetto di Dodo (cioè, l'osservazione che tutte le terapie in buona sostanza sembrano ugualmente efficaci); (ii) il collegamento tra processo ed esito; (iii) il passaggio verso il pluralismo metodologico; e (iv) la politicizzazione del campo intorno a pratiche basate sull'evidenza e a linee guida di trattamento. A questo punto si volge lo sguardo verso i prossimi 25 anni, il che suggerisce che potrebbe essere promettente concentrarsi su tre ambiti di interesse: (i) ricerca sistematica sulla costruzione di teorie; (ii) una rinnovata attenzione verso studi molto dettagliati delle tecniche terapeutiche; e (iii) ricerche politicamente convenienti sugli esiti di terapie non molto diffuse o emergenti.

摘要

在本期刊《心理治療研究》25週年之際,三位前主編首先回顧(1)關於「渡渡鳥的判決」(Dodo verdict)的持續爭議(例如:觀察到所有真誠的治療師好像都有療效);(2)歷程及效果研究之間的關聯;(3)研究方法學的多元化趨向;(4)有關以實徵研究為基礎之實務做法與治療準則的政治化。其次我們展望未來25年,建議可以關注以下三大領域:(1)系統性的理論建構研究;(2)更具細緻作法的心理治療技術研究;(3)針對非主流或新興療法的政治權宜考量研究。

Zusammenfassung

Ziel: Anlässlich der 25. Jubiläumsausgabe des Psychotherapy Research blicken drei ehemalige Editoren auf (i) die fortdauernde Debatte um das Dodo Verdict (d.h., die Beobachtung, dass alle Bona Fide Therapien gleich effektiv erscheinen); (ii) den Zusammenhang von Verlauf und Ergebnis; (iii) das Voranschreiten des methodischen Pluralismus und (iv) die Politisierung des Fachgebiets der evidence-based pracitice und der Behandlungsleitlinien zurück. Ferner werden wir einen Ausblick auf die nächsten 25 Jahre geben, bei dem wir uns auf drei vielversprechende Bereiche fokussieren: (i) systematische theoriebildende Forschung; (ii) erneute Zuwendung zu detailliertem Studium therapeutischer Techniken; (iii) politisch nützliche Forschung der Ergebnisse von marginalisierten oder neu entstehender Therapien.

A propósito do 25º aniversário da revista Psychotherapy Research, três ex-editores recordam: (i) a controversa persistência do veredicto Dodo (i.e., a observação de que todas as terapias bona fide parecem igualmente eficazes); (ii) a relação entre processo e resultados; (iii) o movimento em direção ao pluralismo metodológico; e, (iv) a politização da investigação em psicoterapia em torno de práticas e diretrizes de tratamento baseadas em evidências. Aguarda-se, pois, com interesse os próximos 25 anos, sugerindo-se que seria promissor focar três aspetos em particular: (i) a investigação sistemática da construção de teorias; (ii) uma renovada atenção ao estudo refinado de técnicas terapêuticas; e, (iii) a investigação politicamente oportuna acerca dos resultados de terapias marginalizadas ou emergentes.
