List of Random Controlled Trials (RTCs)

A comprehensive compilation of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving psychodynamic treatments and interventions.

By, Peter Lilliengren, Stockholm University

• This is a list of all RCTs ever conducted on psychodynamic/psychoanalytic treatments and interventions. The inclusion criteria are the widest possible: the list includes studies of long-term and short-term therapy, the treatment may be in individual, group or other format (Internet-based self-help for example), the condition targeted may be a psychiatric condition or other defined problem and the patient population targeted may be adults, youth or children. Studies of integrative treatments with a major psychodynamic component have also been included, but established treatments that are typically not considered dynamic (although they may overlap to some extent, e.g. EMDR, IPT, Schema therapy) have not been included. The list has been assembled from references included in (or excluded from) published meta-analyses, as well as through manual searches in PubMed and PsycINFO. The list is regularly updated and if you are aware of any study meeting the inclusion criteria that is currently not on the list - please let me know!
