Abstract

To date, few studies have been published on the doseresponse relationship, but there is general consensus that between 13 and 18 sessions of therapy are required for 50% of patients to improve. Reviewing the clinical trials literature reveals that in carefully controlled and implemented treatments, between 57.6% and 67.2% of patients improve within an average of 12.7 sessions. Using naturalistic data, however, revealed that the average number of sessions received in a national database of over 6,000 patients was less than five. The rate of improvement in this sample was only about 20%. These results suggest that patients, on average, do not get adequate exposure to psychotherapy, nor do they recover from illness at rates observed in clinical trials research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
