Document Summary

Clients believe that treatment will be efecive placebo efect. Clients want to believe the therapy was worth the efort. 5-year treatment program for boys bound for delinquency. Inefecive though the clients" tesimonial toward the program was highly rated. Because people enter therapy when they are extremely unhappy, and usually leave when they are less unhappy, most therapists, like most clients, tesify to therapy"s success regardless of the treatment. Randomized clinical trials researchers randomly assign people on a waiing list to therapy or to no therapy, and later evaluate everyone, using tests and assessments by others who don"t know whether therapy was given. Bed-weing, phobias, compulsion, marital problems, and sexual dysfuncions. Therapists make decisions about treatment based on research evidence, clinical experise, and knowledge of the client. The more speciic the problem, the greater the hope. Therapies give the belief that may funcion as a placebo, improving morale, creaing feelings of self-eicacy, and diminishing symptoms.
