Main professional interests:
Research on which components make psychotherapy effective for clients. Research has shown that the qualities and actions of the therapist are crucial to successful psychotherapy. With regard to the controversy between those claiming the need for specific therapeutic methods for specific disorders and those claiming that a focus on common factors is most crucial. Wampold doesn't see one factor as independent of the other. His stance is that the therapist needs to be competent and should make use of a variety of models and techniques for tailoring the treatment to the needs of the clients through his use of common factors. Wampold finds it promising that new approaches (e.g., feedback systems) may reduce the gap between clinical practice and research and improve the quality of services.
