Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to apply the meta-analysis technique to school-based studies of psychotherapy. Thirty-three controlled studies were identified that met the criteria for meta-analysis. Although research efforts in this area offer a relatively small number of well-designed studies, the results of the meta-analysis indicate that psychotherapy in the schools can be viewed as at least moderately effective. Evidence was also found of the greater efficacy of group and behavioral theory interventions and interventions that target observed behaviors and problem-solving abilities. |
