Allegiance in Psychotherapy Outcome Research: Separating Association From Bias (2009, methodology): “…used meta-analytic methods, and they have included pharmacotherapy conditions, a broader sample of psychotherapies, and higher-quality studies than were available to Luborsky et al. (1975; e.g., Gaffan, Tsaousis, & KempWheeler, 1995; Luborsky et al., 1999, 2002; Robinson, Berman, & Neimeyer, 1990).”
Risk and Anxiety in Adventure Programming (2002, background): “Recent discussion of the power and value of the therapeutic relationship suggests that therapy approaches are very similar in their effectiveness, and that the helping rela tionship is one of the most important factors that is com mon to all approaches (Luborsky et al., 2002).”
Mapping evidence-based treatments for children and adolescents: application of the distillation and matching model to 615 treatments from 322 randomized trials. (2009, background): “The call for an increased focus on issues related to implementation, dissemination, and real-world relevance has grown steadily over the past several years (Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005; Kazdin, 2008; National Advisory Mental Health Council Workgroup on Child and Adolescent Ment”

(2002), addressing psychotherapy research.”
A critique of the American Psychological Association Clinical Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Adults. (2020, background): “This appears to be related to the so-called allegiance effects in psychotherapy research (Gaffan, Tsaousis, & Kemp-Wheeler, 1995; Jacobson & Hollon, 1996; Luborsky et al., 2002; Smith, Glass, & Miller, 1980).”
THEORETICAL AND RESEARCH SUPPORT FOR THE DULUTH MODEL: A REPLY TO DUTTON AND CORVO (2007, background): “…share common components, and one of those is likely to be the kind of self-awareness and behavior monitoring that these aspects of Duluth counseling attempt to promote (for a discussion of this “ dodo bird ” phenomenon in clinical trials of psychotherapy; see Luborsky, Rosenthal, & Diguer, 2002).”
Evidence-Based Practice: Beyond Empirically Supported Treatments (2004, background): “Meta-analyses (Smith & Glass, 1977; Wampold et al., 1997) and meta-analyses of meta-analyses (called mega-analyses, e.g., Grissom, 1996; Luborsky et al., 2002) have found very few differences among those therapies referred to by Wampold (2001) as bona fide.”
Identifying and Selecting the Common Elements of Evidence Based Interventions: A Distillation and Matching Model (2005, methodology): “…the same, multiple client types the same, and minimizing possible interactions of interventions and client factors raised numerous problems (e.g., see Beutler, 1991, 2002; Chambless, 2002; Chambless & Ollendick, 2001; King & Ollendick, 1998; Luborsky et al., 2002; Rounsaville & Carroll, 2002).”
Common Factors in Psychotherapy Outcome: Meta-Analytic Findings and Their Implications for Practice and Research (2004, methodology): “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).”
