Abstract
While a significant amount of attention has been paid to the efficacy of marriage and family therapy (MFT), research on the effectiveness of MFT is lacking. Furthermore, university training clinics are an underutilized, yet excellent resource for collecting effectiveness research data. This study examined the effectiveness of therapy provided at an MFT university training clinic, by examining therapists' ratings of therapy effectiveness for clients seen for more than one session over the past five years (N = 558). Data on therapy modality, treatment length, fee for services, and attrition category (completed or dropout) were also examined. A statistically significant relationship was found between treatment outcome and treatment length, number of presenting problems, and attrition category.
