What is the most evidence-based therapy?
Since cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the strongest evidence-based therapies out there, it is important to include a book that discusses CBT specifically. Both therapies work to help support the person address issues that are individual to them. The main difference is that in Person Centred Therapy the client is the expert on himself, and in CBT the therapist is the experts and provides a directive approach. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD). CBT may not be for you if you want to focus exclusively on past issues or if you want supportive counselling.
How do you know if a treatment is evidence-based?
If the treatments they use have scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of the treatments, they are called evidence-based treatments (EBTs). EBP is a process used to review, analyze, and translate the latest scientific evidence. The goal is to quickly incorporate the best available research, along with clinical experience and patient preference, into clinical practice, so nurses can make informed patient-care decisions (Dang et al., 2022). Evidence-based practice is a process that involves five distinct steps which we call the five ‘A’s: Ask, Access, Appraise, Apply, Audit. Conversely, non-evidence-based interventions can be defined as approaches where there has been no demonstrable impact through outcome evaluation or where the effectiveness is unknown due to a lack of outcome evaluation.
