Luborsky, Singer, and Luborsky (1975) compared a number of psychotherapies and found that no organized theoretical orientation worked better than any other. This was called the dodo bird verdict: “Everyone has won and we shall all have prizes”. If no specific psychotherapy works better than the others, should theoretical orientations should exist at all? Why or why not? If everyone gets better anyway, is the training of clinicians meaningful? Support your view.What is psychopathology? What do you know about mental illness? Why does a leader need to have a working knowledge of the scientific method as applied in the clinical environment?
