Abstract
Psychotherapy relies on a strong integration of theory, empirical research, and clinical experience. Furthermore, publishing journal articles on the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness requires creativity, persistence and a scientific approach. The present article examines recent publications on assessment and diagnosis, case conceptualization and treatment planning and generic issues related to the therapeutic alliance. The article includes a review of papers on common diagnostic problems including anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, addictions, and personality pathology. In each of ten categories, the best papers are identified that were published during the past year, and the top article is highlighted as an award winner that should be read by all mental health professionals.
