Rates of change in naturalistic psychotherapy: Contrasting dose–effect and good-enough level models of change.

Abstract: Most research on the dose-effect model of change has combined data across patients who vary in their total dose of treatment and has implicitly assumed that the rate of change during therapy is constant across doses. In contrast, the good-enough level model predicts that rate of change will be related to total dose of therapy. In this study, the authors evaluated these competing predictions by examining the relationship between rate of change and total dose in 4,676 psychotherapy patients who received individu… Show more

“…First, more-intense treatment might indeed not be superior to less-intense treatment. There is some evidence from naturalistic studies indicating that the relationship between treatment dose and response is highly variable 31 and that a relevant proportion of patients already improves significantly after few sessions. 32 Another study, however, found that response rates were low in patient samples receiving only a few sessions.…”

“…These results are consistent with psychotherapy research suggesting that the dose-response relationship is not always uniform or linear. Different persons yield different benefits, despite receiving the same dose, and some persons show improvement with a small dose, whereas others require a stronger dose (Baldwin et al, 2009). Benefits from a universal preventive intervention are likely contingent on preintervention symptomatology; more symptomatic children may require services beyond a universal intervention, despite high levels of caregiver participation.…”

“…Participants receiving CBT-T averaged one more session than those receiving CBT-IP, but the duration of psychotherapy sessions was significantly longer for the CBT-IP group ( p = 0.001); 69% of CBT recipients received at least eight sessions (defined as ''completers'') and 91% received at least four sessions, which has been cited as a ''minimally effective dose'' of psychotherapy in some studies; 36,79 there were 12% more CBT-T than CBT-IP participants in each of these categories. A support person participated in at least one session for 12 (30%) of the CBT-T participants and 8 (44%) of the CBT-IP participants; among those who had a support person participate, they did so in significantly more of the CBT-T sessions (44%) than the CBT-IP sessions (11%).…”
