Evidence-based therapies (EBTs)
Evidence-based therapies (EBTs) are psychological treatments that have been proven effective through scientific research. They are a combination of the best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values. Examples include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is used for a wide range of conditions, from anxiety and depression to trauma and other disorders.
What EBTs are
Scientifically supported: EBTs are based on principles that have been rigorously tested and shown to produce positive outcomes.
Integrative: The practice of EBTs involves integrating the best available research evidence with a clinician's expertise and the specific needs, values, and characteristics of the patient.
Empirically supported principles: They apply empirically supported principles of psychological assessment, case formulation, the therapeutic relationship, and intervention.
Structured: EBTs often have a clear structure and a set of techniques to help clients achieve specific goals, such as managing emotions, changing thought patterns, or processing trauma.
