Abstract
BOTELLA-GARCIA DEL CID, Luis. The answers you get depend on the questions you ask: psychotherapy research revisited. Acción psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.1, pp.1-12. Epub July 25, 2022. ISSN 2255-1271. https://dx.doi.org/10.5944/ap.17.1.27809.
This paper addresses possible answers to some of the puzzling questions regarding the status of psychotherapy research, particularly from a call to question the inadequacy of a root metaphor with strong links to the medical model. Specifically, it focuses on the debates on (a) the proliferation of psychotherapeutic practices, (b) the absence of significant differential efficacy and (c) the demarcation criteria between therapies and pseudotherapies.
Keywords : psychotherapy research; medical model; psychotherapy integration; common factors; pseudotherapies.
