Zusammenfassung:In this article we review the main findings in psychotherapy research that can contribute to the two goals of the treatment-selection process: (1) facilitating the first phase of therapy and (2) enhancement of final outcome of therapy.

Further, guidelines for the practitioner concerning treatment selection have rarely been formulated. In this review we make the explicit attempt to reformulate research findings into suggestions for the clinician for treatment selection.
