I think you're probably right as to the reasons for the focus of the study
I always get the feeling that scientific measurement of therapy outcomes is difficult. In an article I was reading, it said even medication results and the ability to tolerate side effects was greatly influenced by the patient's relationship with the prescriber. I'd imagine with therapy it would be hard to tease out the provider and the therapy.
Then there are the subcategories of measurement. I *think* I read that DBT shows really good results with modifying behavior, but less good results with clients actually feeling less distressed? I could be wrong about that...
