Current Findings Regarding the Effectiveness of Counseling: Implications for Practice.

Lambert, Michael J.; Cattani-Thompson, Kara

Journal of Counseling & Development, v74 n6 p601-08 Jul-Aug 1996

The effects of counseling, attained in relatively brief time periods, seem to be relatively lasting. There is little evidence or specific efficacy for particular techniques or counseling theories.
