| Abstract | G. T. Wilson (1997) describes how behavior therapy altered the field of psychotherapy by dominating controlled outcome research in Europe and in the United States, and by relating clinical science to clinical practice. Wilson maintains that behavior therapy has grown with continued scientific advances in experimental psychology, and concludes that the relation between behavior therapy and scientific formulations has, in fact, contributed to behavior therapy's record of success. In this commentary, we expand upon Wilson's points by relating the success of the behavior therapy movement with features of the evolutionary and problem-focused philosophy of science espoused by
Laudan (1977). We conclude that behavior therapy's commitment to maximize problem-solving effectiveness accounts for its success in the domain of clinical science. |

| AbstractList | G. T. Wilson (1997) describes how behavior therapy altered the field of psychotherapy by dominating controlled outcome research in Europe and in the United States, and by relating clinical science to clinical practice. Wilson maintains that behavior therapy has grown with continued scientific advances in experimental psychology, and concludes that the relation between behavior therapy and scientific formulations has, in fact, contributed to behavior therapy's record of success. In this commentary, we expand upon Wilson's points by relating the success of the behavior therapy movement with features of the evolutionary and problem-focused philosophy of science espoused by
Laudan (1977). We conclude that behavior therapy's commitment to maximize problem-solving effectiveness accounts for its success in the domain of clinical science. Plaud and Vogeltanz respond to an article (1997) by Wilson that described how behavior therapy altered the field of psychotherapy by dominating controlled outcome research and by relating clinical science to clinical practice. They expand upon his points by relating the success of the behavior therapy movement with features of the philosophy of science espoused by Laudan (1977). |
