Titel: Evidensläget: Psykoterapi har effekt, men flera frågor är obesvarade [summary] (serie: Tema psykoterapi) 2006 nr 42 sid 3191-3

Summary:
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientific evidence exists if two or more independent studies support similar results. In this paper consequences of the FDA definition are discussed and the need for meta-analyses to establish empirical support for psychotherapy is argued.
Scientific evidence based on meta-analyses offers strong support for the efficacy of systematically implemented psychotherapy in the treatment of various psychiatric conditions. From a relative perspective these analyses fail to show significant differences between various schools of psychotherapy, and do not prove that specific treatment techniques are crucial for outcome. However, some common aspects of all psychotherapies are closely associated with treatment effect. Finally, results indicate that the suitability and competence of the psychotherapist are far more important for the outcome than the specific type of therapy. Convincing research evidence affirms that psychotherapy is and should be an integrated part of modern psychiatry.
