Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most efficacious, empirically based treatment approaches identified by the Society of Clinical Psychology of the American Psychological Association were primarily behavioral or cognitive-behavioral in nature. This is because these approaches have been extensively researched and shown to be effective for a wide range of psychological disorders. Psychoanalytic and analytical approaches, while historically significant, have not been as extensively studied or shown to be as effective in empirical research. Family systems therapy was also included on the list, but it was not as prominent as behavioral or cognitive-behavioral approaches.
