Abstract
The authors describe the issues involved in training experienced psychotherapists to participate in outcome studies. Potential areas of conflict among research goals, clinical goals, and therapists' expectations include the restrictions imposed by the research protocol, the therapists' feelings about being evaluated, and the restrictions of a defined psychotherapy. A training program that addresses these issues and an appropriate administrative structure can reduce these conflicts.Keywords
