Abstract:	In line with the demand for evidence-based medicine, psychotherapy is also expected to demonstrate its effectiveness. For this reason, the Swiss Charta for Psychotherapy, the umbrella organization for psychotherapy education and training institutes in Switzerland, launched a prospective, naturalistic psychotherapy outcome study in 2004. All institutes affiliated with the Charta were invited to participate in the study. In Switzerland a multitude of psychotherapy approaches continue to be practiced. The study therefore also provides a unique opportunity to investigate whether therapists practicing different types of psychotherapy in fact utilize the techniques declared to be specific to their approaches, or whether, for instance, there are just a few techniques that are widely utilized across approaches. This paper presents the study design and the descriptive data of the baseline survey. Participating were 86 therapists at nine psychotherapy institutes; the therapists recruited 362 patients (238 women, 124 men) aged 17 to 72 years. With regard to the five most important outcome instruments, 80% of the patients had a rating in the dysfunctional range on at least one instrument. Ninety percent of the patients had a diagnosed disorder on Axis I of the DSM-IV. Further analyses of the data will yield outcome and process-outcome results.
