I'm fascinated by the common factors thesis in psychotherapy: that most treatments work, & that this reflects the factors they have in common (like the relationship with the therapist) not their special features (as in this meta-analysis) https://t.co/N8qK5gkKrk https://t.co/qXo0hjzOw8

@imo_bell How is this approach different to the common factors approach? Eg Wampold (2015). How important are the common factors in psychotherapy? An update. World Psychiatry, 14(3), 270-277. https://t.co/Erj2lYu1Dp Or the classic text Miller Wampold (2010). The heart & soul of change.

@MyDadQueen And here is a good review article on the subject: https://t.co/IHsqhyONAC Don’t be shocked to find out that the specific techniques of various types of therapy contribute relatively little to the outcomes.
