¿PSICOTERAPIAS PERJUDICIALES? COMENCEMOS POR LAS MALAS PRÁCTICAS

Abstract

After the Eysenck debate on the usefulness of psychotherapy was resolved, professional psychotherapists witnessed seething controversy over the relative efficacy of each method. Having mostly overcome this argument and moved on from the research on efficacy to that on the quality of the therapeutic alliance, once again clinicians in Spain are observing the issue about the potential harmfulness of some therapeutic treatments. In this text, considerations will be developed both at the scientific and the deontological level, from the point of view of the professional practice of psychotherapy.
