title: [Evaluation of psychotherapy--basic research perspectives].
abstract: Four models of psychotherapy research and evaluation are presented. Eysenck's model of experimental psychology implies the call for control groups; Kiesler's model emphasizes the consideration of differential aspects regarding patients, therapists, techniques and outcome measures. Limitations of traditional models are discussed. New approaches should project psychotherapy research with reference to the phase model used in pharmacological research and take into account various perspectives for the psychotherapy field. Some data on the influence of priests/vicars and dowsers serve to exemplify the necessity of macro-research.
