The enduring effects of psychodynamic treatments vis-à-vis alternative treatments: A multilevel longitudinal meta-analysis.

摘要: Although evidence suggests that the benefits of psychodynamic treatments are sustained over time, presently it is unclear whether these superior to non-psychodynamic treatments. Additionally, extant literature comparing compared alternative limited with methodological shortcomings. The purpose current study was conduct a rigorous test growth relative across distinct domains change (i.e., all outcome measures, targeted non-targeted and personality measures). To do so, employed strict inclusion criteria identify randomized clinical trials directly at least one bona fide treatment treatment. Hierarchical linear modeling (Raudenbush, Bryk, Cheong, Congdon, & du Toit, 2011) used longitudinally model impact post-treatment compare slope) effects beyond completion. Findings from present meta-analysis indicated were equally efficacious follow-up for combined outcomes (k=20), (k=19), (k=17), (k=6). Clinical implications, directions future research, limitations discussed.
