Findings by Jerome Frank, a Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins and Pioneer in Research on the Effects of Psychotherapy
- Frank’s research convinced him that the specific theoretical framework of a given therapy has little to do with its effectiveness.
- The most important factor is the therapist’s ability to induce the placebo effect, by convincing patients that they will improve.
- Many patients respond to therapists and therapies with scientific status, Frank noted, but others might prefer a faith healer, witchdoctor or shaman to a Harvard-trained psychiatrist.
- Frank spelled out this perspective in his influential 1961 book Persuasion and Healing: A Comparative Study of Psychotherapy.
