Popis: | This exploratory review of 25 years of part-time professional practice with individuals, couples, and families, evaluated the number of face-to-face psychotherapy sessions with and without written homework assignments. Contrary to predictions from the literature, administration of a workbook lengthened significantly the number of face-to-face psychotherapy sessions for all groups. The exploratory nature of this review and its inability to deal with a host of uncontrolled variables made it impossible to deal with the issue of effectiveness. These results, nonetheless, raise questions about the claimed cost-effectiveness of written homework assignments. Future research will need to concentrate on variables that could not be controlled in this review. |
