Psychotherapy Selection Algorithm (PSA) 1.0: A Work in Progress.
This column presents a first draft of the Psychotherapy Selection Algorithm (PSA 1.0), developed by a workgroup of the American Psychoanalytic Association. The goal of PSA 1.0 is to address bias in psychotherapy selection and to reexamine treatment selection so that it is based on evidence that includes the effectiveness and efficacy of psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis.
