On the need for a basic science approach to psychotherapy research

Journal/Book: Psychol Sci. 1997; 8: 40 West 20TH Street, New York, NY 10011-4211. Cambridge Univ Press. 145-147.

Abstract: This article argues that the greatest progress in developing more effective psychotherapies will come from a renewed emphasis on designing and conducting therapy research as basic science devoted to the acquisition of cause-and-effect relationships and from collaborations between clinical researchers and basic researchers from other domains of psychology.
