Congruence/genuineness: a meta-analysis
Research findings amalgamated for the American Psychological Association show that in the (mainly Western) cultures where these studies have been done, outcomes improve the more therapists are seen as genuine by their clients and relating to them human to human rather than as an authority figure.

A meta-analysis of the association between patients’ early treatment outcome expectation and their posttreatment outcomes
Review commissioned by the American Psychological Association found that clients who start psychotherapy expecting good outcomes tend actually to have better outcomes than other clients, raising the issue of whether therapists should regularly assess expectations and if needed take steps to enhance them.

STUDY 2018 HTM file
Adult substance misuse statistics from the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017
The annual accounting of the treatment caseload in England registers a continuing fall in total numbers and decreasing success with opiate users, while success with drinkers has increased and has for the last few years remained relatively high and stable. An ageing population of opiate users is the proposed explanation for the former trend – but why hasn’t a similarly ageing alcohol caseload also eroded success rates?
HOT TOPIC 2017 HTM file
Substance use treatment as part of a ‘wrap-around’ package of care
One of our hot topic essays on important issues which sometimes generate heated debate. Asks whether supplementing addiction treatment with ‘wrap-around’ services is a distraction, or part of the core business of sustainably overcoming addiction.
