A Conceptual and Methodological Analysis of the Nonspecifics Argument (2006, unknown): “174 of outcome equivalence between two or more psychotherapies has been used to support the inference that therapies work through nonspecific means (Ahn & Wampold, 2001;Castonguay,Goldfried,Wiser,Raue,& Hayes, 1996; Ilardi & Craighead, 1994; Luborsky, Singer, & Luborsky, 1975; Strupp & Hadley,…”
Attending to the omissions: A historical examination of evidence-based practice movements (2004, background): “Indeed, meta-analysis has shown that adding or removing purported critical components of efficacious treatments does not attenuate the benefits (Ahn & Wampold, 2001).”
Let's Face Facts: Common Factors Are More Potent Than Specific Therapy Ingredients (2006, unknown): “Ahn and Wampold (2001) conducted a meta-analysis of component studies that appeared in the literature between 1970 and 1998.”
Common Factors in Psychotherapy Outcome: Meta-Analytic Findings and Their Implications for Practice and Research (2004, background): “Meta-analyses and reviews of psychotherapy have suggested that common factors are more important to positive outcome than are specific techniques (Ahn & Wampold, 2001; Hubble, Duncan, & Miller, 1999; Lambert & Bergin, 1994; Luborsky et al, 2002; Wampold, 2001).”
Guidelines for Meta-Analyses of Counseling Psychology Research (2006, background): “For example, in a few meta-analyses, Wampold and his colleagues (Ahn & Wampold, 2001; Baskin, Tierney, Minami, & Wampold, 2003; Wampold, 2001; Wampold, Minami, Baskin, & Tierney, 2002; Wampold et al., 1997) have seriously challenged the applicability of the medical model to psychotherapy research…”
The New ABCs: A Practitioner's Guide to Neuroscience-Informed Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (2015, background): “Meta-analyses of component studies have also found no substantial differences between variations of a single therapeutic model (e.g., cognitive-behavior therapy vs. behavior therapy alone; Ahn & Wampold, 2001).”
In Search of a Common Core: A Content Analysis of Interventions to Promote Forgiveness. (2005, methodology): “This may be justified with such a new intervention method, but reviews of general psychotherapy outcomes now suggest that research should focus on process variables (e.g., Ahn & Wampold, 2001).”
Therapist Competence and Outcome of Cognitive Therapy for Depression (2004, background): “The proportion of clients completing therapy is similar to the 68% reported by Shaw et al. (1999) in the TDCRP CBT condition, and the 75% reported by Barkham, Rees, Shapiro, et al. (1996) from a comparable British research clinic.”
Cultural Adaptation of Scalable Psychological Interventions: A New Conceptual Framework (2019, background): “By contrast, if the same intervention shows a higher effect if it is framed in a culturally-shaped manner, this is an indicator that providing a convincing rationale is indeed a “key ingredient” of psychotherapy, as postulated by Ahn and Wampold (2001).”
Advantages and limitations of Internet‐based interventions for common mental disorders (2014, background): “A fourth outstanding question relates to the limited knowledge about therapist factors which are widely held to be important in face-toface treatments (40).”
Perceived Injustice and Adverse Recovery Outcomes (2014, background): “…alliance as one of the strongest predictors of outcomes in the rehabilitation of patients with persistent physical and mental health problems (Ahn & Wampold, 2001; Bennett, Fuertes, Keitel, & Phillips, 2011; Flückiger, Del Re, Wampold, Symonds, & Horvath, 2012; Miciak, Gross, & Joyce, 2012).”
Effectiveness of religiously tailored interventions in Christian therapy (2007, background): “Given this conclusion, some have argued that research on specific ingredients should be redirected toward the exploration of variables that promote or inhibit the common factors (e.g., Ahn & Wampold, 2001 ).”
