With a focus on outcomes with psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioural and systemic psychotherapies, this book provides a review of research on the effectiveness of psychotherapy and psychological interventions with children, adolescents and adults. It looks at the overall effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of psychotherapy, the contribution of common factors to the outcome of successful psychotherapy, the effectiveness of psychotherapy and psychological interventions with specific problems in children, adults, and people with intellectual disabilities and pervasive developmental disorders, and the effectiveness of psychotherapy and psychological interventions with specific problems in adulthood and later life. The author concludes from the research available that psychotherapy is effective for both adults and children, and provides an analysis of this with respect to a wide range of mental health conditions.
