Abstract:
Clinicians who conduct psychotherapy with children and adolescents have for long done so without the evidence that their activities were validated by sound confirmatory research. The doubts and uncertainties surrounding psychotherapy were thrown into sharp relief in the 1950s with Eysenck's controversial claims that patients receiving psychotherapy were no better off that those receiving no treatment at all.
