Abstract
Over the last 15 years, there has been increased interest in evidence-based practice in medicine.1-3 This trend has filtered into the practice of psychotherapy. Some psychotherapies have been defined4 and tested in controlled clinical trials. A modest number of psychotherapy treatments that are evidence-based therapy (EBT) are now available.5-7 For a psychotherapy to be considered evidence based, there is general agreement that the procedures must be defined in a manual and found efficacious in at least 2 controlled clinical trials with random assignment to treatment.
