 CHAPTER 1

CONVENTIONAL OUTCOME RESEARCH

In the 10 years that have passed since the First Edition was prepared, a number of significant
findings have been reported. Some of them are surprising and one is unusually ironical. New
trends and methods have emerged, some old claims have earned the right to a respectable
burial, and sad to report, the accumulation of discouraging results has not ceased.
Before we describe and interpret these events, it is necessary to explain that they have
prompted us to adopt substantially new views on outcome and research strategy and on
evaluation criteria. These views, which will be explained in this opening chapter and then re-
examined in the concluding chapter, lead us to recommend major changes in the planning and
evaluation of outcome research, so that we have been obliged to refer to the prevailing approach
as conventional psychotherapeutic-outcome research. As the bulk of the available data falls into
this category of conventional research, there is no alternative but to carry out a conventional
consideration of conventional outcome research, even though we feel that such research is
bound to be of limited value, leaves little room for development, and is at times misleading.
Adoption of an alternative strategy, preferably along the lines set out here, could lead the way
to more fruitful research and the production of more accurate findings.
The main alternative proposals, while none of them novel in themselves, can be combined to
produce a marked change in the design and direction of outcome research. A case will be made
for setting aside medical definitions of psychological problems and replacing them with more
properly psychological definitions; among many other changes that would flow from this
substitution (to be elaborated presently), it would involve the dismissal of the concepts of
"cure", "relapse", "prognosis", the notion of neurotic illnesses and so forth. Instead, the
persons' problems would be assessed and described in psychological terms, and the effects of
interventions designed to deal with these problems would be assessed by psychological methods
rather than by methods borrowed from medical practice. The shift from a medical to a psycho­
logical perspective will also require the development of alternative care systems - people seeking
assistance in overcoming their problems would go to advisory centres instead of hospitals.
Allied to this shift from a medical to a psychological perspective, but not necessarily an integral
part of it, we have been led to support a shift in emphasis away from the common assumption
of exaggerated generality of human behaviour and towards an increasing emphasis on the
specificity of behaviour and the importance of situational determinants of conduct, feelings,
and so on. The next proposal is that the changes already described should be allied to the
establishment of explicit goals before any modification or intervention programme is under­
taken — plainly, this proviso is especially important in outcome research. Unless the aims of the
programme are made explicit and stated in quantified degrees of success, rather than as at

1
2 THE EFFECTS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY

present in terms of generalized reports of cure, relapse, or improvement, many unsatisfactory

aspects of the conventional outcome research will persist.
We will also argue that the selection of measurements and the design of the outcome studies
would benefit from a three-systems analysis instead of the current assumption that most
psychological problems are unitary. It would require a move away from the continuing reliance
on what has been called the "lump" theory of emotions (see Lang, 1970; Rachman, 1978). The
adoption of a three-systems analysis would enable us to study both process and outcome
questions simultaneously and, we hope, in a fruitful manner.
A proposal of a different character arises from our dissatisfaction with the undirected
accumulation of disparate facts. Where possible, outcome studies should be designed to collect
evidence that bears on significant theoretical questions. One should attempt to determine
whether the observed effects can be accommodated by existing theory. Questions of this kind
can be put in the narrow sense (e.g. does controlled drinking achieve the specified theoretical
goals?), or they can be asked in a broader sense (e.g. is this method of change best conceived
as a form of conditioning?).
The next proposal is concerned with the efficacy of modification or treatment programmes,
seen in their social context. Even if a form of therapy is effective in the individual case it
does not follow that it is an effective psychological procedure for dealing with the larger
problems of incidence, suffering, etc. Some form of cost-benefit analysis will have to be
carried out in order to help planners and administrators provide an effective service.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Our reasons for formulating the alternatives will be gone into presently, but before doing so
a resume of some of the interesting and surprising events of the past decade is desirable. Ten
years ago it was difficult to locate satisfactory evidence to support the claim that psychotherapy
was effective. Indeed, it was the continuing shortage of satisfactory evidence about psycho-
therapeutic effectiveness that played a large part in the development of what was the strongest
form of competition—behaviour therapy. For example, one of the pioneers of behaviour therapy,
Professor Wolpe, turned his energies towards the development of alternative forms of treatment
partly because of his dissatisfaction with the poor effects of psychotherapy. In these circum­
stances it is a matter of amusement and irony that some of the best recent evidence indicating
that psychotherapy may indeed be an effective form of treatment has come from research
workers who have included psychotherapy as a control treatment against which they expected
to demonstrate the superior effectiveness of behaviour therapy. Whatever the motives of the
research workers concerned, in a few instances comparative studies of this kind have, by virtue
of the improved rigour of the experimental designs, yielded new and better evidence to support
the claim that psychotherapy may be effective. As we shall see in Chapter 12, these comparative
evaluation studies contain flaws that prevent one from drawing definitive conclusions. It
remains true, however, that they have, sometimes inadvertently, provided considerable
encouragement for psychotherapists. It is also ironical that the quality of the research carried
out in these comparative evaluations, despite its shortcomings, is superior to almost all of the
earlier research into the effects of psychotherapy evaluated in its own right.
Some of the surprises that have emerged during the past decade include the following two
examples chosen from a wider list of possibilities. The large and ambitious comparative study
CONVENTIONAL OUTCOME RESEARCH 3
carried out by Sloane et al. (1975) revealed that the behaviour therapists who took part in the
study were rated as equal or higher in those therapist qualities that have often been said to be
uniquely characteristic of psychotherapists. Another and rather more significant development
of the past few years is the comparative failure of psychotherapists to deal successfully with
sexual problems despite the considerable emphasis which most of the psychodynamic theories
place on sexual matters (see Broadhurst, 1977; Sotile and Kilmann, 1977).
As we shall see, the promise offered by client-centred psychotherapy has not been fulfilled;
unhappily, progress in providing support for the challenging theoretical and practical claims
of this group of therapists has been slow and disappointing. Moreoever, some of the claims
have been seriously undermined. Almost as if to replace this unfulfilled hope, the past few
years has seen the growth in popularity of various forms of cognitive therapy. In recognition
of this important development we have included a special chapter on the subject.
The past decade has seen the execution of a number of comparative evaluative studies,
practical comparisons and reviews of the literature. The clinical studies are laborious and
extremely expensive, not to speak of the considerable theoretical obstacles which have to be
overcome — and in some important instances the attempt was unsuccessful. So, for example,
the carefully thought-out and prepared efforts of Candy et al. (1972) floundered on some of
these insuperable problems (see Chapter 6). It will be agreed that when comparative studies
are successfully completed, useful information does emerge, but there is a case for concluding
that the enormous effort which they absorb is misplaced, and that far greater gains could be
achieved by the adoption of a more direct strategy in which specific methods are tested for
their specific effectiveness, employing assessment procedures that are appropriate and designed
for the particular purpose.
One of the major contributions of behaviour therapy has been the development of a
number of different research strategies for evaluating treatment effects. Among these innovative
strategies are single-case experimental designs, and dismantling and constructive designs for
determining the effective components of treatment packages (see Hersen and Barlow, 1976;
Kazdin and Wilson, 1978b). In most instances it is desirable to demonstrate the initial
efficacy of a particular method under specific, controlled conditions using these alternative
methodological strategies before taking the plunge of carrying out a complex comparative
outcome study in a clinical context. Different designs will be appropriate at different points in
the systematic development of an effective treatment technique (see Agras, Kazdin, and Wilson,
1979).
The early promise of the behavioural methods has been fulfilled in some respects but not in
others. Behaviour therapy is no longer regarded as a radical alternative. Its scientific progress is
reflected by the steep increase in publications on the subject, and the extent of its acceptance
among orthodox psychiatrists in the United States (see Brady and Wiencowski, 1978). The
views expressed in Brady's survey ranged from those psychiatrists who regarded behaviour
therapy as a useful approach of limited scope, to a minority who hope that it will develop into
the predominant method of dealing with the psychological problems. The scientific penetration
of behaviour therapy is a remarkable story that can be reflected in publication trends (see
Chapter 9 below). The large and steep increase in the number of scientific publications is plain
— a development that is familiar, perhaps even too familiar, to people interested in this field
when they are confronted by rapidly growing lists of books on behaviour therapy. It is no
exaggeration to say that a major text on the subject is published each month. The status of
behaviour therapy as a means of producing beneficial changes in psychological problems —
4 THE EFFECTS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY

in conventional terms, its therapeutic effectiveness — is a complex subject which deserves at

least the two chapters devoted to it here.
A number of encouraging findings about the effectiveness of psychotherapy have been
published during the past decade, and these will be dealt with in due course. During the same
period, however, the flow of dismal findings, in which the effects of psychotherapy barely
exceeded or even failed to exceed the beneficial changes observed in a control group, continued.
So too did the flow of unsupported and occasionally extravagant claims made on behalf of
psychotherapy.
The disappointing reports include a careful prospective study of the fate of 100 alcoholic
patients. Orford and Edwards (1977) were unable to find any significant contribution attri­
butable to the (usually) informal psychotherapy that was provided for half of these patients as
part of a larger treatment programme. The medium- and long-term outcome for those patients
who received treatment was no different for those who were provided simply with advice. This
study, which had its limitations (e.g. no double blinds), was not intended to provide a test of
psychotherapy as such, but rather to evaluate a treatment programme which included psycho­
therapy, as deemed desirable. The therapeutic outcome for the treated group was no better
than that for the untreated group, nor was there any relation between the amount of treat­
ment accepted and the eventual outcome.
May et al. (1976b) reported a 3- to 5-year follow-up of 228 first-admission schizophrenic
patients who had received one of five types of treatment. Those patients who received psycho­
therapy-alone did significantly worse than those who were treated by drugs-alone, drugs plus
psychotherapy, or ECT (p. 483). McCord (1978) obtained equally disappointing results in her
follow-up investigation of 500 men who participated in the Cambridge Somerville youth project.
Roughly half of the total group had received a great deal of help over several years, including
psychotherapy when required, but their eventual adjustment was no better than that of the un­
treated control subjects. The provision of psychotherapy, even when accompanied by other
forms of social treatment, had no discernible beneficial effects. Frank et al. (1978) compared
the outcome of treatment in a group of neurotic patients at the end of treatment, 5 years later,
10 years later and, again, 20 years after termination of treatment. They could find no significant
differences between those patients who received psychotherapy and the control patients who
received minimal contact (p. 111).
The Menninger Clinic Report describes a painstaking and laborious investigation of psycho­
analysis, carried out over 14 years by a large and changing group of research workers at a cost
of over a million dollars (Appelbaum, 1977), The Report was finally published in 1972. The
outcome of this extraordinary effort, sometimes obscured by the mass of details and advanced
statistical analyses contained in the final report, is unlikely to improve property prices in
Topeka.
Before returning to one of the major themes of this Introduction, the unsatisfactory assump­
tions underlying conventional research, an historical comment is in order. It would appear that
towards the end of the 1960s, the increasingly obvious complexities of carrying out satisfactory
outcome research, plus the embarrassing shortage of evidence capable of supporting the far-
reaching claims of therapists, generated a great deal of pessimism. It was said that the problems
are impossible to resolve. By the middle of the decade, however, new hopes were seeded by
recourse to what can be referred to as the homogeneity argument. According to this view,
virtually any respectable form of psychotherapeutic assistance produces beneficial results, and
there is little to choose between the methods. The well-known quotation from Alice in Wonder-
CONVENTIONAL OUTCOME RESEARCH 5
land, "Everybody has won and all must have prizes", was used by Luborsky et al. (1975) with
effect. The reassurance came at a propitious moment, but there is some doubt about its accuracy
and value (see Kazdin and Wilson, 1978b and Chapter 12 below). Regardless of the fate of this
argument, there can be little doubt that at the time of its introduction, it was welcomed by the
receptive and troubled professions of psychology and psychiatry.
It should also be mentioned that the easy and often uncritical acceptance of this argument
provoked a strong reaction, particularly from proponents of behaviour therapy. This develop­
ment coupled with the relative failure of comparative studies to demonstrate that behaviour
therapy was in all ways superior to psychotherapy, added to the dismay of behaviour
therapists. Although the failure to demonstrate that behaviour therapy is necessarily superior to
psychotherapy, if taken uncritically and at face value, would provide reasonable grounds for
uneasiness among behaviour therapists, the slow accumulation of evidence to support some of
the claims on behalf of psychotherapy, however modest this evidence, should be welcomed.
Indeed, it flows from our major argument that psychological problems often require
particular (and sometimes therefore dissimilar) answers. Nevertheless, it remains true that the
success of behavioural methods leads to serious difficulties for psychodynamic theories.
Before providing our analysis of the nature, causes and remedy for the apparent impasse, it
is essential to draw attention to the range of non-neurotic psychological problems that can be
modified by behavioural methods. In considering the well-publicized comparative studies on
neurotic samples, these other and in certain respects more important applications tend to be
ignored or dismissed [(e.g. "We have not, however, covered the huge literature specifically on
habit disorders (e.g. addiction [sic] and bedwetting . . ."), Luborsky et aL, 1975, p. 1006)].
If the evaluation of behaviour therapy is, like psychotherapy, confined mainly to studies carried
out on neurotic samples, and if the studies follow the conventional outcome designs, there is
a risk that potentially and demonstrably effective psychological methods will be discarded
foolishly and needlessly. The effects of behaviour therapy, and psychotherapy to a lesser extent,
must be examined on a broad canvas which should include (in the case of behaviour therapy)
those methods which have been developed for helping retarded people to learn to care for
themselves, overcoming enuresis, and so on. Several of these behavioural techniques cannot be
made the subject of comparative studies for the very good reason that, literally, there is no
comparison.
By the same token, it is not possible to carry out a comparative evaluation of the effec­
tiveness of psychotherapy and behaviour therapy in bringing about psychodynamic growth, or
greater insight into one's unconscious mental life, and so on. Once more, there can be no
comparison.
As far as the effects of behaviour therapy on neurotic problems are concerned, the need for
a reappraisal of strategy is now evident. Conventional outcome studies have their merits and
undoubtedly are a great improvement on the unsystematic accumulations of case reports that
formerly provided the sole evidence on which to reach conclusions about therapeutic effects
(e.g. Freud, 1922). The main features of these conventional outcome studies are the inclusion
of control groups, random allocation to treatment, the use of more than one type of pre- and
post-treatment measurement (with an emphasis on clinical ratings, and the employment of
independent and blind assessors). These tactics all contributed to improving the reliability of
the findings, but most of them embody unstated assumptions that need to be identified and
then examined critically.
The main part of the present argument is that a revision of three of the important assump-
6 THE EFFECTS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY

tions will allow a restructuring of outcome research and enable us to progress more satisfactorily
and quickly. Although the shortcomings of conventional treatment are most evident in con­
siderations of behaviour therapy, some of them apply equally to psychotherapy. Nevertheless
this discussion deals mainly with the problems of assessing the outcome of behaviour therapy.

THE FIRST ASSUMPTION

The first of these assumptions, the implicit accommodation of psychological difficulties

and deficits within a medical model (sometimes described as the disease model), has
been the subject of detailed critiques during the past few years (e.g. Ullmann and Krasner,
1969, 1975; Eysenck and Rachman, 1965; Bandura, 1969; Rachman and Philips, 1975,1978,
1979 among others) and will not be given at length. Instead we will concentrate on the relation­
ship between this assumption and the design of conventional outcome research. Before pro­
ceeding, however, it should be noted that the critics of the medical model are by no means in
full agreement about either the nature of the model or its crucial weaknesses (it should be
added that the defenders of the medical model also have their disagreements, e.g. Kendell,
1975; Wing, 1978). Nevertheless, most critics would agree that the over-extensive and
undiscriminating construal of psychological deficits and difficulties as illnesses or signs and
symptoms of illnesses, is mistaken. They would also agree that the undiscriminating application
of the medical model has important practical and theoretical consequences, and they probably
would agree that most of these consequences are unfortunate.
Turning immediately to some of the implications for outcome research, we can illustrate the
matter by choosing three examples. In the first place, if a person's psychological problems are
construed as signs or symptoms of illness, this virtually precludes attempts to directly change
the specific problem behaviour, or to directly retrain him, and so on. Incidentally, when the
relevant predictions, such as those referring to symptom substitution, were eventually put to
the test, the medical model received little support (e.g. Yates, 1975). Secondly, if psychological
problems are signs of illnesses, then the person is automatically regarded as a patient, and this
process of labelling turns out to be of considerable psychological significance (e.g. Rosenhan,
1973). It also follows of course that these psychological problems require medical or para­
medical assistance, usually in a hospital or clinic. A third implication of regarding psychological
problems as illnesses is that treatment should be an attempt to achieve a cure. Of course, the
concept of cure in its turn has implications for outcome research (and incidentally lends itself
to qualitative rather than quantitative measures of change). So we can trace a direct pathway
from the conception of psychological difficulties and deficits as pathology, to the design and
conduct of conventional outcome research.
If instead we act on our critical assessment of the limitations of applying the medical model
to psychological problems, then new tactics become possible. As a start the person's problems
(not the patient's illness) can be described in psychological terms, using psychological
methodology — and in keeping with current thinking, this would mean, among other things, a
greater emphasis on the specificity of behaviour. Outcome measures of a general character,
such as percentage of cures and clinical ratings of severity of illness, would be replaced by
specific behavioural descriptions, specific subjective reports, and specific psychophysiological
reactions to specific stimuli. Greater emphasis would be placed on observed behaviour, per­
formance (deficits or errors) and so on, without excluding the vital subjective elements. Each
CONVENTIONAL OUTCOME RESEARCH 7
programme of retraining, or modification, or therapy (if and when that term is applicable) would
be based on explicit target goals, and it follows of course that the outcome of the programme
should be assessed by the degree of progress achieved in attaining these goals. Hence the
assessment of outcome is inevitably quantitative and there is no place for the concept of cure.
One would ask questions such as: To what extent has the behaviour increased or decreased?
How widely have the changes generalized? To what degree have the changes persisted?
Among other advantages, this tactical change would make it far easier to compare the results
obtained in different studies, i.e. the opportunities for sound comparison and replication
studies would be enhanced.
Another consequence of using a psychological rather than a medical model is that the treat­
ment context, the description of the participants and of the agents of change, will all be
regarded in a new manner. An incidental result of these changes is that the distinction between
analogue research and clinical research will largely fall away (Borkovec and Rachman, 1979).
The term "analogue research" rests on a distinction between clinical samples, i.e. between
patient and non-clinical samples. If, however, we restrict the terms patient, clinical and so on
in the way proposed here, there is little reason to retain the adjective "analogue". The parti­
cipants in these programmes will be described by the type, range and degree of their problems
and not by their diagnostic category. Nor indeed will they be defined by their attendance at
hospital or a clinic. We would be obliged to concentrate on problems rather than on diagnoses,
or to put it another way, programmes would be problem-orientated rather than illness-orientated,
as is presently the case. The use of so-called analogue subjects in therapy research, particularly
by behaviour therapists, raises a number of important questions which will be examined
presently (see page 262).
A third consequence of using a psychological model is that the people who seek assistance,
no longer regarded by themselves and by others as psychiatric patients, will be expected by
themselves and others to play a more active part in overcoming their difficulties. The significance
of this change is conveyed, in part, by replacing the term patient by the term client.
It is evident that we will need to establish a more satisfactory vocabulary for what we are
doing. At present it is difficult to avoid using words such as patients, cures, treatments, etc.,
even though in doing so we are aware that a misleading impression is inevitably conveyed.
Regrettably we do not have satisfactory alternatives at present; the term clients, with its
connotations of the legal profession, seems stiff, distant, and inappropriate. So far. no
acceptable alternative has been proposed. The term clinic can more easily be replaced by any
of the following possibilities, depending on the particular agency concerned - couselling centre,
psychological advice bureau, or a plain guidance centre. The term cure can more easily be
dispensed with, particularly as the reluctance to use the term is not confined to non-medical
professions.

THE SECOND ASSUMPTION

This assumption is especially important in research on the treatment of neuroses, whether

by psychotherapy or behaviour therapy. It is assumed that certain key concepts such as fear
and anxiety are best conceived in terms of what has been called "the lump theory" (Rachman,
1974), following Lang's (1970) fresh analysis of fear. Anxiety (and fear) usually is regarded as
a unitary phenomenon, but Lang has argued persuasively for a more complex conception in
