Evidenced-based Therapeutic Practice
Evidenced-based Therapeutic Practice |
The use of evidenced based psychotherapeutic practices is considered a best practice by most mental health providers. Treatments that are not evidenced based are often not funded by HMOs and insurance companies. The requirement for the mental health provider to use such evidenced-based practices helps to ensure that the patient is receiving treatment that has been shown effective for their identified mental health issue(s).
