ABSTRACT

Tailoring treatment to the specific needs of the client has long been an ideal. As early as 30 years ago, it was hoped that psychotherapy research would focus on “what treatment, by whom, is most effective for this individual with that specific problem and under which set of circumstances” (Paul, 1967, p. 111). To date, some notable progress has taken place in meeting Pauls challenge, but we are just beginning to see the tip of the tailoring iceberg, and there’s more to be seen.
