- Summary:
-
Counselling and psychotherapy come in a great many models today and such services are supported by government - but do they actually work? This paper summarises the evidence regarding whether or not individual, couple and family counselling 'works' and how it works. It outlines three mainstream approaches, addresses the similarities and differences between the terms counselling and psychotherapy, explores counselling's essentially voluntary nature, and examines the practice and research divide between individual, couples and family focused work. The evidence on how it works points away from a medically grounded focus on differential effects of particular models of counselling, towards common factors - especially the nature of the counsellor-client alliance - that appear to be present in all successful counselling outcomes. The common factors findings, in turn, suggest the need for a shift in focus from the relative efficacy of differing models of counselling to research into counsellor training and the ongoing development of counsellor expertise.
