Extract

One aspect of behaviour therapy research that has been surprisingly slow to develop is the prediction of outcome from individual differences. In most other ways (the formulation of treatment methods precisely enough for them to be replicable, the controlled evaluation of treatment efficacy, the investigation of procedural variations which are of theoretical importance etc.) behaviour therapy research is relatively advanced. But curiously, the prediction outcome is much less well investigated than it is in some other treatment fields such as rehabilitation, which are in other ways at a lower level of scientific development than behaviour therapy.
