La investigación científica y las herramientas clínicas son valisoso elementos que contribuyen en el tratamiento eficaz de los TCS y algunas de sus amplias consecuencias en la población.

Current Scientific Evidence About Mutual Help Groups
Location: Online
Description
This presentation summarizes the current evidence about the effectiveness of mutual help groups and the mechanisms of action in these groups, including AA, SMART, LifeRing, and WFS. AA is comparably effective to well-implemented CBT. The evidence so far suggests that the other groups are comparably effective to AA. Further studies are in progress. Similar to evidence about common factors in psychotherapy, mutual help groups appear to have common factors. Any freely chosen mutual help group appears likely to be helpful.
