efetividade da terapia baseada em protocolos

Participants in the newly released study either were treated with an approach specifically designed for their particular diagnosis or a generic alternative.   The results?   No difference in outcome at termination or 6-month follow-up!  Said another way, diagnostic-specific protocols did not improve the effectiveness of treatment.  In their place, the authors promote “transdiagnostic treatment protocols”–a term, I know you will be hearing more about in the future.  No need to be confused (or impressed) by the sophisticated sounding name.  Given decades of research showing all psychological approaches work equally well, this new one is, if nothing else, is a perfect example of “boldly charging forward into the past.”
The truly revolutionary implication of this study is not mentioned by the researchers: neither psychiatric diagnosis or diagnostic-specific treatments improve the outcome of psychological care.  That was the promise.  It failed.
