Some of the research into effective psychotherapy shown that:
- Effective psychotherapy is primarily predicted upon a) the relationship between the therapist and the client and b)the inner and external resources of the client.
- The type of therapy and technique is largely irrelevant in terms of successful outcome.
- Training, credentials and experience of the therapists are irrelevant to successful therapy.
- Clients who receive psychotherapy improve more than clients who do not receive psychotherapy.
- There is little evidence to support the position that there are specific treatments for particular disabilities.
- The most consistent of the relationship varibles related to effectiveness are the conditions of empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard.
