Abstract
Leichsenring and Rabung’s meta-analysis of long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy offers a useful summary of available research data. Their adaptation of meta-analysis has many merits as well as some important limitations. Their work provides preliminary support for the effectiveness of this therapy, a widely used method of treatment that also has detractors. The article also sets the stage for reviewing how the research ideology of evidence-based practice (EBP), and the economic forces behinds EBP, may limit research on several therapeutic methods of interest to clinical social workers and our clients. A call is made for additional high quality research on many therapies with considerable research support that may not (yet) meet the standards of EBP.
