Hmm- maybe a good subject to discuss? Why would we want the criteria to be any different for a particular type of therapy? They are aimed at bias reduction and therefore at reducing chance of harm to client and maximising chances of good for client, whether it be podiatry, psychotherapy or pediatric oncology. We use exactly the same critical appraisal forms for a whole range of interventions, for this reason. Maybe the form needs a bit more space for appraising validity of outcome measures, but apart from that, they seem good. For example of criteria, and for reviews, see Cochrane Development Learning and behaviour group's reviews - many 'psychotherapies' are in there. Or see journal Evidence based Mental Health.
