Abstract: | Disputes the methodology and conclusions of M. L. Smith and G. V. Glass (see record 1978-10341-001) in their meta-analysis of psychotherapy outcome studies. Smith and Glass's use of a compilation of studies, mostly of poor design, is an abandonment of scholarship. There remains no acceptable evidence for the efficacy of psychotherapy.
