The Dodo Bird Verdict in Psychology Research
Research consistently shows that various therapies in psychology are equally effective, a concept known as the Dodo Bird Verdict.

The term 'evidence-based' does not align with the scientific evidence, as studies find no distinct superiority among therapies like psychodynamic therapy despite numerous randomized control trials conducted over 20 years.
