Authors

Abstract

In the course of quality management actually required for medical and psychological treatments and the call for “Evidence based Medicine" in psychiatry a new discussion of the judgement from psychodynamic psychotherapies of psychoses is necessary. There is no doubt, that for short therapies by former controlled outcome studies this kind of treatment could shown to be successful. For long-term therapies however there we have a different situation. Because of ethical and practical reasons it is nearly impossible to realize randomised controlled studies for a long duration of therapy.
Therefore they are scarcely ever available. In this review the advantage and disadvantage of controlled versus uncontrolled studies is discussed with the conclusion, that uncontrolled studies may also produce important insights concerning the outcome.

Keywords:
Psychodynamic psychotherapy of psychoses, randomised controlled trials versus uncontrolled trials
