The essential goal of technical eclecticism is to:
 
  a. develop a model of common factors that are applied uniformly.
  b. develop predictive models of what works for whom.
  c. develop atheoretical methods of therapy.
  d. develop models of relationship factors.

Q. 2

Which of the following was NOT one of the factors contributing to the psychotherapy integration movement?
 
  a. Adequacy of one theoretical system for all patients and problems
  b. Development of professional societies for integration
  c. Proliferation of therapies
 d. Recognition that therapy commonalities play major roles in determining outcome

Q. 3

All of the following probably represent core ingredients shared by any effective therapy EXCEPT:
 
  a. a positive therapeutic relationship.
  b. maximizing client hope and positive expectancy.
  c. problem-specific techniques.
  d. a hard-working client.

Q. 4

Advocates of common factors, such as Bruce Wampold, argue that research supporting the differential effectiveness of certain psychotherapies is misleading for all of the following reasons EXCEPT:
 
  a. treatment differences ignore therapist effects resulting in overestimation of treatment effects.
  b. comparison therapies used in randomized clinical trials are barely therapies at all.
  c. researcher allegiance effects are larger than differences among treatment effects.
  d. client selection biases in randomized controlled studies inflate treatment effects.

Q. 5

Wampold's meta-analytic studies of psychotherapy led him to conclude that the differential superiority of one psychotherapy over another is misleading for each of the following reasons EXCEPT:
 
  a. lack of client feedback about outcome during treatment.
  b. overestimation of particular treatment effects by ignoring therapist effects.
  c. lack of quivalence of comparative therapies in most randomized controlled trials.
  d. researcher allegiance effects are sufficiently large to account from differences among specific treatment approaches.

Q. 6

The approach to psychotherapy integration that attempts to identify the core components shared by different therapies is known as:
 
  a. common factors . c. theoretical eclecticism.
  b. technical eclecticism. d. theoretical integration.

Q. 7

The most frequent pathway to psychotherapy integration is:
 
  a. common factors. c. theoretical integration.
  b. technical eclecticism. d. all of the above.

Q. 8

What the text authors dub the exhaustion theory of integration suggests that:
 
  a. there are too many competing theories of therapy for any one person to recall and use.
  b. there are so many theories of therapy that there are no new ideas left around which new theories can be organized.
  c. the proliferation of therapies reached its maximum point in 1985, and is now on the decline.
  d. new theories of therapy are still emerging and no one textbook can cover them all.
