Abstract: | The impact on Canadian professional psychological treatment practices of the American Psychological Association (APA) Division 12 (Clinical Psychology) Task Force on the Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures' development of criteria and listings for empirically supported psychological treatments, along with other industrial efforts to standardize the identification of treatments with established efficacy is described in the article by J. Hunsley et al (see record 1999-01869-001). P. A. Pilkonis comments here on these efforts with an eye towards both producing additional information in support of the new practice criteria and establishing grounds for future progress and collaboration, especially in the research arena.
