On dénombre… plus de quatre cents formes différentes de psychothérapie. (Janssen, 2006, p. 123)

One authority has counted 418 different forms (he calls them “brand names”!) of therapy (Parloff, 1986). (Moerman, 2002, p. 89) 

If researchers attempted to devise a standard placebo therapy that omitted all features hypothesized as the active ingredients of one or another of the ever-proliferating forms of psychotherapy, they would have to consider that there are now more than 250 brand names of psychotherapy (Herink, 1980). (Parloff, 1986, p. 83)
