Recognition of psychotherapy effectiveness: the APA resolution

Linda F Campbell et al. Psychotherapy (Chic). 2013 Mar.

Abstract

In August 2012, the American Psychological Association (APA) Council of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to adopt as APA policy a Resolution on the Recognition of Psychotherapy Effectiveness. This invited article traces the origins and intentions of that resolution and its protracted journey through the APA governance labyrinth. We summarize the planned dissemination and projected results of the resolution and identify several lessons learned through the entire process.
