title: Psychotherapy research. Clinical trials versus clinical reality.
abstract: The benefits of psychotherapy have been established in a number of controlled studies, yet the application of these research findings in clinical practice seems to be limited. The converging developments of psychopharmacology, behavior modification and dynamic psychotherapy are briefly reviewed, and the needs for methodological and clinical integration are underscored.
