Synopsis
Therapy is a profession under assault. Perhaps more than any time before, payers, consumer groups and legislators are putting what therapists do under the closest of scrutiny. Within the field itself, and especially among different theoretical schools, quarrels and contentious claims continue unabated. Various factions cast their model and their techniques as superior to the rest. Joining manualized therapy and protocol-driven interventions, so-called experimentally established therapies represent the latest campaign for a "technically correct" standard of care. One former president of the American Psychological Association was right: Therapy is being industrialized, as are virtually all who practice it. At the root of many controversies currently surrounding therapy is the important question of what works. Is efficiency based on the singular curative powers of specialized techniques or do other variables account for patient change? This book proposes the answer, which is not to be found in different languages, theories or procedural differences. Instead, the answer lies in common factors - the ingredients of effective therapy shared by all orientations.More than 40 years of outcome research is pointing the way to what really matters in the therapist's day-to-day work. The editors have assembled some of the best researchers and practitioners in the field today. Through their efforts, findings from multiple perspectives - clinical, research, quantitative and qualitative evidence, individual and family therapy, medical and school psychology, and, finally, a broad range of theoretical orientations - are bridged. The result is a book that provocatively interprets the empirical foundation of how people change in a scholarly yet accessible manner. Clinicians will especially appreciate the wealth of practical suggestions for employing the common factors in their daily practice.

Not just for researchers: practical clinical suggestions
Seven years ago, we got together at the annual Family Therapy Network Symposium in Washington, D.C. All of us were alarmed that at a time when therapy is being scrutinized by special interest groups, outside agencies, and insurance entities, so many disagreeements continue about what makes therapy work and whose is better. If our own house was in such disorder, we worried that our survival could hardly be assured in the increaingly unfriendly environment professional therapy now finds itself. No longer comfortable sitting on the sidelines and watching the steady parade of therapies, we turned to the research literature for answers about what works in therapy. Our efforts resulted in two books: Escape from Babel and Psychotherapy with "Impossible" Cases. (See the author comments on "Escape" for a story of how that book evolved from beers at the Networker conference.) In all we found that the effectiveness of therapy resides not in the many variables that ostensibly distinguish one approach from another. Instead, it is principally found in the factors that all therapies share in common. To further explore the implications of the common factors, we invited the world's foremost scholars to present their findings in a way that would compel a deep understanding of what really matters in effective therapy. To our surprise and delight, they enthusiastically agreed. The Heart and Soul of Change creates a forum where the important findings bearing on the common factors are presented and evaluated. It represents a collection of the most noted outcome researchers who tell it like it is--not couched in researcherese, but rather in plain clinical terms that make sense of 40 years of data about what makes therapy effective. The Heart and Soul of Change rises above the criticism of most research oriented books--that researchers only write for other researchers and are far removed from the real world experieces of everyday therapists. Instead, the Heart and Soul translates thousands of studies into useful implications for practice. We have been honored to be associated with the contributors of this volume and hope that it encourages more reflection in this era of empirically validated techniques and prescriptive treatments.

This book challenged what I was taught to do when doing therapy. The book inspired me--made me think about new ways to view "stuck" cases. The case examples were powerful and the writing was excellent. A bit of interspersed humor made the reading interesting. I highly reccommend this book to anyone in the field of therapy. In fact, I suggest reading this book before going in to the field so that one can avoid becoming pigeon-holed into any certain formal, traditional model of therapy.

Not one that will you'll skip over and leave "un-read."

I found this text to be of great help. The contributing chapters and the topics covered are fantastic. The authors take therapy constructs that have always been detailed in writing styles far too thick and complex and now describes them in descriptions much easier to understand, all the better for the transfer from theory to practice. While certainly pointed at the field of therapy, this book speaks to many of the "helping" disciplines---more can be "therapeutic" by aligning with these "common factors." The authors give great review to the ingredients to effective interventions and behavior change. When I finished this book, I was left with the impression that although everyone may not be in the "therapy business" this book shows how many who "help" can now be far more involved in the positive behavior change business.
I read this with relish. A genuine "Thanks" to all those who contributed to this book. I can't say enough about it.
