The effectiveness of psychotherapy carried out by a group of transactional analysts as a function of therapy length is compared to the effectiveness of groups of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, marriage counselors, and physicians as measured by the research carried out by the staff of Consumer Reports, with Martin Seligman, Ph.D., as their consultant (“Mental health,” 1995; Seligman, 1995). The results confirm that therapy lasting more than six months is considerably (40%) more effective than that lasting for less than six months, and that therapy limits due to insurance limitations significantly decrease effectiveness (p < 0.01). The data also determines that the effectiveness of transactional analysts is significantly higher (p < 0.001) than the effectiveness of any of the aforementioned groups
