    After decades of research, we still don't have a clue about which specific components of psychotherapy are helpful for clients, or if there are even any. https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-clinpsy-050718-095424 …pic.twitter.com/0ozxPdFgyn

        Wampold is the Great psychology debate found that two therapeutic factors had the biggest impact: empathy and encouragement. However, serendipitous events outside of therapy had the biggest effect in therapeutic outcomes. All the theoretical and technical talk is b.s.

        Although, the therapist needs to be convincing so all the theoretical and technical talk helps the therapist convince himself his or her expertise matters.

        I thought cognitive therapies (CBT) had achieved empirical, measurable success?

        Same goes for some medications. They still work though. Also, as it said, the therapeutic alliance is the biggest factor in successful therapy, regardless of theoretical orientation. It's hard to research therapy because external and internal validity are significantly at odds.

        That is fascinating! I have been through psychoanalytic therapy and it has improved my live tremendously - best decision ever! Why is there no empirical support though?

        Because there's no data to support it sufficiently, like the tweet says. It works for some and doesn't work for others. It happened to not work for me. I tried to figure out why but I (obviously) didn't succeed. It's alot of assumed to be correct theory. Not hard science.
