The meta-analysis, encompassing 2895 participants, showed that PST is significantly more effective than no treatment (d = 1.37), treatment as usual (d = 0.54), and attention placebo (d = 0.54), but not significantly more effective than other bona fide treatments offered as part of a study (d = 0.22). Significant moderators included whether the PST included problem-orientation training, whether homework was assigned, and whether a developer of PST helped conduct the study. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Clinical Psychology Review, 27(1), p. 46-57 | Publisher: | Elsevier Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1873-7811 0272-7358 |
