title: "The times they are a-changin'"*: 25 years of psychotherapy research--a European and Latin American perspective.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article discusses the 25th anniversary of the journal Psychotherapy research from a European perspective.
  
  
  METHODS
  Based upon the reflections of one of the founding editors of the journal (David A. Shapiro), together with overviews from SPR colleagues, this article focuses on the major developments in the field of psychotherapy research in the U.K., Germany, as well as and other European countries, as well as Portugal, Spain, and Latin America.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR), which founded the journal as its official organ, underwent a metamorphosis from a purely North American to an international scientific organization during the 1980s. The move towards a greater international audience has been mirrored in the journal, where articles from North America are increasingly balanced with articles from other, especially European, countries.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The journal Psychotherapy Research has become an important journal and its development allows thoughts about the future direction of the journal as well as the research field as a whole.
