Extract

The article by Shapiro and Shapiro (1982) published in Behavioural Psychotherapy is one of three, or possibly four, which they have written on the subject of meta-analytic approaches to the evaluation of psychotherapy. Commenting on each of their articles would be burdensome for critics and tedious for readers. Wilson and Rachman (1982) have already written an evaluation of the Shapiros' position, and as Wilson (1982) gives an incisive and comprehensive critique of their Behavioural Psychotherapy article, I will confine myself to a few brief remarks.
