This article discusses research in the field of clinical psychology. In view of the great need for knowledge of a factual nature in the field of psychotherapy, it is encouraging to find that the frequency of research reports concerned with objective evaluation of the effects of psychotherapy remains high. H.J. Eysenck's recent provocative summary should prove challenging rather than discouraging to clinicians and should operate to enhance collaborative investigation by psychologists and psychiatrists who need to demonstrate the evidence which underlies their subjective convictions that psychotherapy is a socially useful function in which to be engaged.
