I remember LW discussions where a study was cited about how psychologists compare to lay people when they do counselling. Does anybody have a link?
This is definitely not that, but might be interesting for similar reasons: Scott Alexander's post called Scientific Freud.
I think I posted that. It's not hard to find the study - it's not counselling, it's CBT specifically.
Finding a study is always about finding the right keywords. I didn't find it with the keyboard that came to my mind. If you still remember the right keywords how about posting a link?
That's not always how you find a study.
I map my ontology to wikipedia.
The closest relevant top is the Dodo BIrd verdict on wikipedia. From a quick scan I couldn't find what I was looking for, but I'm somewhat confident it'll have the right leads. Also, I remember another study suggesting new psychologists were more effective at CBT than experienced ones.
I would dig harder to find the study, but I reckon it's misleading in isolation anyway. The larger, wider body of evidence overwhelmingly suggests the biggest factor in therapeutic success in the 'therapeutic alliance', a relationship level factor, not the therapy itself, or the characteristics individually of the patient of clinician.
