Zusammenfassung
Die Arbeit stellt, ausgehend von der wachsenden Notwendigkeit von Wirkungsnachweisen
auch für das Feld der Psychotherapie, den internationalen Diskussionsstand zur Evidence-Based
Medicine (EBM) dar und kontrastiert diesen mit einigen zentralen Aspekten gegenwärtiger
Psychotherapieforschung. Im ersten Teil werden zunächst drei Bedeutungen von EBM unterschieden:
EBM im weiteren Sinn als regulative Idee, EBM im engeren Sinn als kodifizierte Methode
und EBM im Kontext als sozialpolitische Bewegung; anschließend werden Vor- und Nachteile
randomisiert kontrollierter Studien (RCT) diskutiert. Im zweiten Teil wird zwischen
der Binnen- und der Außenperspektive hinsichtlich EBM in der psychotherapeutischen
Medizin differenziert; danach wird kurz auf die Auseinandersetzung um Grawes Metaanalyse
und die sogenannte „Consumer Reports”-Studie sowie ausführlicher auf die Diskussion
um „Empirically Supported Treatments” eingegangen. Die Probleme der Anwendung von
RCT in der Psychotherapieforschung werden dabei ebenso dargelegt wie die derzeitigen
Vorschläge für Alternativen, die der Erforschung real praktizierter Psychotherapien
dienen.
This review article gives an overview of the state of the art of evidence-based medicine
(EBM) which is contrasted with some central aspects of current psychotherapy research.
In the first part, three meanings of EBM are discussed: EBM as a regulative idea,
EBM as a codified method and EBM as a sociopolitical movement; it follows an evaluation
of the advantages and disadvantages of randomized controlled trials (RCT). In the
second part, the discussions surrounding the metaanalysis of Grawe, the „Consumer
Reports” study and the so-called „Empirically Supported Treatments” are touched upon
briefly; it follows a discussion of the specific problems of using RCTs in psychotherapy
research and of the suggestions for more naturalistic studies in this field.
