What is the distinct defining characteristic of the innovative approach to child and adolescent psychotherapy known as Evidence-Based Practice?
  1. Emphasis on research and collecting data.
  2. Emphasis on taking advantage of the knowledge and expertise of the growing number of clinical psychologists.
  3. Emphasis on the contributions to the understanding of children’s behavior available from other emerging fields of study such as neurobiology and cultural diversity.
  4. Emphasis on integrating the data obtained from scientifically conductive predictive validity studies with input from experienced clinical psychologists.
Explanation
Answer: D - Evidence-Based Practice is based on the premise that we should utilize the information from both research and clinical practice to help develop appropriate therapy strategies. In order for a given treatment to be considered evidence-based, the study designed to show evidence of the effectiveness of treatment must use a treatment manual. The study must also show that the treatment group had better outcomes than a non-treatment control group.
