Abstract

In the November issue of The Lancet Psychiatry, Ladmanová and colleagues conducted a qualitative meta-analysis on patient-reported psychotherapy outcomes, revealing nine clusters of outcomes that patients value beyond symptom relief. We found these nine outcome clusters remarkably consistent with the aims of existing psychotherapies and wondered whether they could be more parsimoniously organised to better translate to clinical settings.
