Empirically Supported Treatment: Recommendations for a New Model [Teaser]

This is a teaser for our upcoming webinar in which Dr. Tolin will discuss the history of the movement by Division 12 to identify empirically supported psychological treatments. We will discuss limitations of this approach to treatment identification, and identify the new guidelines adopted in 2015 by the Board of Division 12. Specific recommendations for clinical trial researchers and systematic reviewers will be provided. Objectives: (1) Describe the updated Division 12 criteria for defining empirically supported treatments; (2) Discuss the rationale for updating the criteria for empirically supported treatments; (3) List the steps for clinical trial researchers and systematic reviewers that will promote identification of empirically supported treatments.
