Abstract
A randomized trial comparing CBT and psychodynamic therapy found the treatments to be equally effective, on average. Using the Personalized Advantage Index (PAI) approach on these data, a treatment selection model was constructed that identified, for each individual, the optimal treatment. Individuals who received their indicated treatment had superior outcomes.
