“…Until very recently, we have not had the resources needed to repeat our short‐term follow‐ups systematically after longer periods. And our evaluation plan is apt to seem overly simple in comparison with such comprehensive schemes as that of Fiske, et al (6). At most, we can claim only that our method of evaluation is simple, avoiding dependence upon either elaborate manipulation and interpretation of masses of detailed data or elaborate theoretical inference; that it is reasonably systematic and practicable; and most important, that it is consonant with our overall approach to problems and treatment.…”

This article describes a general view of the nature of human problems and their effective resolution and of related specific procedures, growing out of our prior work in family therapy, that have developed during six years of research on rapid problem resolution. With treatment limited to a maximum of ten sessions, we have achieved significant success in about three‐fourths of a sample of 97 widely varied cases, and this approach to problems appears to have considerable potential for further development and wider application.

“…(For present purposes we ignore problems of methodology and other deficiencies in published studies, which have received ample attention, e.g., Fiske et al, 1970;Paul, 1969;Strupp & Bergin, 1969). Failure to consider this principle adequately in the past has had extremely unfortunate consequences, particularly in debates concerning the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions.…”

A tripartite conceptual model for the evaluation of mental health and psychotherapy outcomes is presented. The model highlights the values brought to bear by three "interested parties" in these evaluations: society, the individual, and the mental health professional. The model is elaborated in terms of the specific problem of negative ejects in psychotherapy, an issue of increasing concern to the public and the mental health profession. Clinical, research, and public policy implications of the model are discussed.The Vanderbilt University Research Team studying negative effects in psychotherapy included

“…This type of analysis has been recommended by other investigators (Overall & Spiegel, 1969;Fiske et al 1970;Fischer, 1973). The initial scores of the experimental and control groups were, therefore, compared by means of univariate and multivariate analyses of variance, allowance being made for these design variables.…”

There is a pressing need to evaluate the different forms of treatment for depressive illness encountered in general practice. This study consists of a controlled, randomized, clinical trial designed to investigate the effectiveness of social work intervention with depressed women. Eighty women aged between 18 and 45 were included and assessed initially by means of a psychiatric and social interview. Those ascertained to be suffering from 'acute' or 'acute on chronic' depression were randomly allocated to an experimental group who were referred to a social worker attached to a general practice or to a control group for routine treatment by their doctor. They were re-assessed 6 months later. Over 60% of both groups were clinically improved at follow-up, with no statistically significant differences between the two groups in clinical, social or medical outcome. Further analyses suggested, however, that those women initially assessed as suffering from 'acute on chronic' depression with major marital difficulties were found to benefit from social work treatment. These patients could be distinguished from the others by their high degree of motivation, by the initial severity of their problems and by the amount of practical help provided by the social workers.
