Review of Research in Supportive Psychotherapy: An Update
Abstract
Controlled studies of supportive psychotherapy for medically and psychiatrically ill patients are reviewed. While the goals, strategies, and techniques of this approach have become better defined, there has not been a concomitant increase in either their quantity or quality. Better specification of the treatment provided and the use of objective assessment techniques are recommended for valid comparisons with other forms of therapy.
