Evidence-based treatment is a foundation of modern mental health treatment. Most clinicians declare that they rely on evidence-based practice (EBP). Close inspection of the methods that clinicians employ, or declare to be EBP in different clinician forums, suggests that the concept is not clearly understood. This webinar will address what is meant by evidence-based practice, and how to properly engage in treatment development that is ground in science. After covering the definitional facets of EBPs and their relation to everyday clinical practice, a case illustration will be provided where the treatment plan could emphasize several different approaches and still be rightly called ‘evidence-based.’ The webinar will conclude with general principles for practitioners to consider when developing a treatment plan for a client based on EBP.
Objective 1: Attendees will understand the defining facets of EBPs
Objective 2: Attendees will be able to craft treatment plans employing EBPs
Objective 3: Attendees will be able to recognize different routes to EBP implementation with a single client.
