I've been a psychologist a long time, but I've never witnessed as much distress among both practicing psychologists and academic clinicians as I have over the issue of experimentally supported treatments (ESTs) and practice guidelines (PGs).
On one side of the issue are the psychologists who believe experimentally supported treatments and practice guidelines are premature, simplistic, and divisive, conceivably a Machiavellian plot by the other side to assert complete dominion over what's left of the psychotherapy enterprise after managed care finishes with it. On the other are the psychologists who lament the failure of the field to appreciate the revolution in effectiveness and accountability ESTs and PGs represent - and seriously debate among themselves whether those who continue to offer treatments which have not been shown to be effective ought to be brought up on charges of ethical violation.
Psychologists fiddle while the profession burns. While we've been arguing so bitterly, the psychiatrists have produced a series of comprehensive practice guidelines (American Psychiatric Association, 1993, on Major Depressive Disorder; 1994, on Bipolar Disorder; 1995, on the Substance Use Disorders: Alcohol, Cocaine, Opioids; 1996, on Nicotine Dependence; 1997, On Schizophrenia). Ironically, these PGs are based in substantial measure - albeit inconsistently and self-interestedly (Persons et al., 1996) - on the very data on experimentally supported treatments about which we psychologists have been quarreling. Flawed or not, however, the psychiatrists' practice guidelines are destined to impact very substantially on mental health practice: they are likely to become recognized as standards of care by some third-party reimbursers and managed care companies. All this being so, it seems time - actually, well past time - to ask whether professional psychology and the American Psychological Association are going to permit psychiatry and the American Psychiatric Association, by fiat, to establish the standards of practice by which psychologists are bound. I'd much prefer a different outcome.
ESTs and PGs: Pro and Con The issues surrounding ESTs and PGs came to a head for psychologists when a Division 12 Task Force published "Training in and Dissemination of Empirically-Validated Psychological Treatments: Report and Recommendations", which contained a condensed, preliminary listing of experimentally supported psychosocial treatments. Three categories of treatments, well-established treatments, probably efficacious treatments, and experimental treatments (treatments not yet established as at least probably efficacious), were proposed. Twenty-two "well-established treatments" for 21 different syndromes and seven "probably efficacious" treatments for seven disorders were listed. With the exception of family education programs for schizophrenia, and interpersonal therapy for bulimia and for depression, all the "well-established" treatments were behavioral, most of them cognitive-behavioral. Similarly, all but the brief psychodynamic therapies listed as "probably efficacious" were behavioral.
Why do behavioral approaches to treatment figure so prominently in these two lists? One reason is that they have been found effective for a number of disorders. Other reasons, however, have less to do with efficacy than with the preferred criteria for judging state-of-the-art outcome research. Cognitive behavioral treatments are more likely to induce the discrete behavioral changes that current outcome measures are designed to reflect. Moreover, they lend themselves especially well to manualized treatment programs, and tend to induce desired changes within a short enough time period to fit into the typical, time-limited outcome study. As EST methodology develops further, a continuing issue will be whether treatments drawn from traditions not as compatible with current outcome research methods will receive experimental confirmation.
Reactions to the Division 12 ESTs were distinctly mixed. Former Division 12 president Sol Garfield, a distinguished psychotherapy researcher, was one of those most troubled by the guidelines:
... (Garfield) judges 'the language of the (Task Force) report (to be) overly strong and the recommendations premature.' Most pointed of his criticisms is that 'the emphasis on validated therapies for specific diagnostic entities seemingly implies a greater knowledge of the variables that produce or facilitate positive change' than he thinks is warranted by the state of our data and knowledge ... His concerns extend to the Task Force's requirement that studies pointing to 'well-established treatments' utilize treatment manuals; manualized therapy, he believes, idealizes and, thus, distorts the psychotherapy setting. He is also convinced that psychotherapy patients in research studies are sufficiently different from their counterparts in the real world as to affect both therapy process and outcome ... Finally, Garfield laments the failure of the Task Force to acknowledge the important role common factors like therapist variance play in determining therapy outcome, in favor of the Task Force's emphasis on form of therapy. Garfield is convinced that psychotherapy research over several decades has revealed the primacy of these process variables over therapy form in determining therapy outcome. (Nathan, 1996, p. 252)
In an invited commentary on Garfield's assessment of the Division 12 ESTs, I disagreed with his view that they were premature, concluding instead that "the time has come to develop methodological criteria by which to identify strong studies validly reflecting effective treatments" (Nathan, 1996, p. 252), a point made as well in a comprehensive volume summarizing treatments that work I recently co-edited (Nathan & Gorman, 1997). In my response to Garfield, I acknowledged limitations in current methodologies for assessing outcomes, despite marked advances in them over recent years. I also stressed the importance of developing additional effective psychosocial treatments.. Nonetheless, I concluded that "we have made sufficient progress in both (methodology and effective treatments) to justify taking a chance and beginning the process" (Nathan, 1996, p. 252).
Others have also found merit in experimentally supported treatments and practice guidelines. Clinton, McCormick, and Besteman (1994), Jacobson & Christensen (1996), Ogles, Lambert, and Sawyer (1995), Schooler (1994), Schulberg and Rush (1994), and Wilson (1995) have all described the diverse benefits of experimentally supported treatments and therapy practice guidelines. Using bulimia nervosa, on which much of his clinical research has focused, as an example, Wilson (1995) makes a particularly eloquent case for the widest possible dissemination of empirically-validated treatments: Moving aggressively in the direction of developing and implementing empirically-validated treatment methods would seem imperative in securing the place of psychological therapy in future health care policy and planning ... The development and implementation of empirically-validated treatments is seen by many mental health professionals as not only desirable but ethically imperative. It has been commonplace for some time now to emphasize patients' right to treatment and their right to refuse treatment. But patients should (also) have a right to safe and effective treatment. (Wilson, 1995, p. 163)
ESTs have, however, failed thus far to earn strong support from a group I would have assumed would be strongly attracted to them, the faculty of clinical psychology training programs in universities and professional schools. A recent survey of these programs (Crits-Christoph et al., 1995) revealed surprising variation in the number of empirically-validated psychotherapeutic treatments taught - from 0% to 96%. Furthermore, Wilson (1995) laments, " ... underscoring the lack of attention to empirically-validated treatments, the report revealed that more than one fifth of the programs did not teach anything about 75% or more of the treatment methods listed by the Task Force" (p. 165).
Even strong supporters of ESTs have acknowledged additional telling limitations in them, including the crucial distinction between findings from laboratory-based studies of treatment efficacy and real-world data on effectiveness (Hollon, 1996; Seligman, 1995), as well as the more general reliability and validity problems associated with both kinds of outcome research (Sechrest, McKnight, & McKnight, 1996).
Can We Find Common Cause? It's not hard to understand either the concerns of those psychologists who oppose ESTs and PGs in their present form or the enthusiasm of those who support them. Like others, I support them because they have the potential to maximize the effectiveness of what we do and make our interventions more fully accountable. Just as importantly, creation of our own practice guidelines, based on our own ESTs, will enable us to establish our own standards of practice, rather than ceding that responsibility to the American Psychiatric Association. But I also understand why ESTs and PGs in their present form are so objectionable to so many colleagues. Simply said, a major reason is that they appear to disenfranchise substantial numbers of colleagues, including long-term therapists, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and group and family therapists. Moreover, the fact that current treatment outcome methods seem to harmonize so closely with the practice of cognitive behavior therapy creates the appearance that the EST process, in its present form, is stacked against the non-behavioral treatments in which so many psychologists have invested so much for so long. With Goldfried and Wolfe (1996) and Newman and Tejeda (1996), I look forward to the time when we can put our differences aside, find common cause, and join together to confront a greater threat than psychologist-generated experimentally supported treatments: the specter of psychiatry's practice guidelines becoming psychology's, just as psychiatry's diagnostic system has become psychology's. Taking these steps, though, is far easier said than done. It will require a level of trust, patience, and mutual understanding between practitioners and clinical researchers that has been sadly lacking to date.
My hope, though, is that both sides can agree that further efforts to develop the methodology and criteria for identifying ESTs make sense - and that they can come together to design jointly the developmental studies that must still be undertaken. (Recent suggestions on ways to bring practitioners into more active collaboration with clinical researchers for this purpose (e.g., Barlow, 1996; Howard et al., 1996) are particularly encouraging.) The ultimate product - ESTs which many more professional psychologists can endorse - will permit us to move on to creation of our own empirically-derived psychological treatment guidelines: our own standards of practice.
