Research > non specific elements lead to significant behavior change.
- The first solution is to use a nonspecific therapy, that is, one without the specific therapeutic procedures being examined but which also has face validity as atherapy with which to compare the active treatment. - Or compare a psychotherapeutic procedure with medication and with a pill placebo as a control condition. - Finally, it is possible to compare a new therapy with a standard therapy for the condition which has already been demonstrated more succesfull than a nonspecific therapy.
