Question 14

Advantages of the emergence of manualized therapies with empirical support include

The emergence of manualized therapies with empirical support leads to the establishment of minimal levels of competence for the field. This is a significant advantage because it ensures that all therapists are providing a certain level of care and treatment to their clients. The development of idiosyncratic forms of therapy by individual psychotherapists may not have any empirical support and may not be effective in treating clients. Increased reliance on the clinical judgment of each psychotherapist also does not provide consistency or accountability in the therapy process.
