Abstract: | Discusses issues raised by D. Fiske (see pa, vol. 47:issue 5) and by L. Luborsky (see pa, vol. 47:issue 5) with reference to outcome research in psychotherapy generally, and to a previous paper by the authors (see pa, vol. 47:issue 5 ) in particular. While attention in the past has tended to focus on general criteria of improvement, it is believed that in the future more consideration must be given to the specific changes sought by means of therapy with multiple measures devised for appraising such change.
