“…The study of protocols for syndromes captured some of the essence of Paul's agenda, and there was a large increase in the amount of data on psychotherapy and other psychosocial interventions, the impact of psychiatric medications, the development of psychopathology, and other key issues. Among other things, the concerns raised by Eysenck (1952) about whether evidence-based psychotherapy could be shown to be better than doing nothing at all were answered once and for all. CBT was a prime beneficiary of this growth of evidence, leading to its current position as the most empirically supported intervention approach.…”

Clinical science seems to have reached a tipping point. It appears that a new paradigm is beginning to emerge that is questioning the validity and utility of the medical illness model, which assumes that latent disease entities are targeted with specific therapy protocols. A new generation of evidence-based care has begun to move toward process-based therapies to target core mediators and moderators based on testable theories. This could represent a paradigm shift in clinical science with far-reaching implications. Clinical science might see a decline of named therapies defined by set technologies, a decline of broad schools, a rise of testable models, a rise of mediation and moderation studies, the emergence of new forms of diagnosis based on functional analysis, a move from nomothetic to idiographic approaches, and a move toward processes that specify modifiable elements. These changes could integrate or bridge different treatment orientations, settings, and even cultures.

“…Because of the individuality of each patient’s psyche, psychoanalysts argued, controlled studies of psychotherapeutic effectiveness needed particular care and sensitivity to be carried out, and even then might not capture the mix of factors (including patient attitudes, external social factors and the therapist’s skill) that made such treatments a success (Hale, 1995). Even as psychoanalytic techniques enjoyed popular vogue and respectability, voices like that of Eysenck advocated for not only a more eclectic mix of therapeutic techniques, but also the necessity of holding clinical psychoanalyses to the same set of statistical norms that were extant in laboratory-based experimental psychology (Erwin, 1980).…”

Albert Ellis, rational therapy and the media of ‘modern’ emotional management

This article explores the development of therapeutic psychological techniques for emotional management as exemplified by Albert Ellis’s development of rational therapy (RT) in the 1950s and 1960s. A precursor to contemporary Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), rational therapy conceptualized emotion as manageable through scientific self-narration. The article examines how Ellis’s immersion in media techniques and forms accessible to a general audience shaped his focus on a new language for clinical practice inspired by behaviorist principles, and how much this ‘clarified’ language exemplifies the application of ‘high modernist ideology’ to the treatment of the postwar American psychological subject.

“…They suggest (14) that Eysenck was being disingenuous in protesting later that he had argued only for the weaker conclusion. (For a detailed defense of his argument, see Erwin (1980). If Rachman's argument (1971) is roughly the same as Eysenck's, then the first criticism by Smith et al concerning selection bias does nothing to undermine it.…”

Meta‐analysis is a new quantitative technique for integrating diverse empirical data. It has been used most notably to establish causal connections between psychotherapy and beneficial therapeutic outcomes (Smith, Glass, and Miller 1980), but it has also been applied to a variety of other causal problems, including the effects of drug therapies on psychological disorders; the effects of school class size on attainment; sex differences in conformity; experimenter effects; the effects of self‐serving bias; and the relationship between social class and achievement. The technique is also likely to be widely used in the future in a variety of areas of the social sciences; one commentator has already referred to the “.meta‐analytic revolution”. in outcome research (Fiske 1983).
