Roles and functions of psychologists practicing EBP
- Psychologists’ roles relation to EPB are as creators, synthesizers and consumers of evidence. We consider implications of EBp’s adoption for clinical psychology training and describe learning resources that support clinical psychologists in mastering EBP.
Roles and functions of psychologists practicing EBP
Creator
they deisgn, conduct, analze and report research that characterizes the risk factors, course, and causal influences on a wide range of health problems.
Roles and functions of psychologists practicing EBP
Practititoner
the psychologist also acquries and parses data about client charachteristics, including developmental course, treament response history, needs, values, and preferences. Additionally, the psychologist as clinican assesses available resources, including his or her own personal training and skill in delivering relevent ESTs.
Roles and functions of psychologists practicing EBP
Systematic reviewers
psychologist use primary reserach that has been created by others to create synthesses that are used by clinicians and policy-makers. They locate the primary research that addresses a practical question, they critically appraise, extract and sythensize the information to provide an answer. Systematic reviewing is itself a sophisticated and evolving form of research methodology that is increasingly becoming the basis for health policies.
Spurious therapeutic effectiveness
- Regression to the mean
- Placebo effect
- Spontaneous remission
- Maturation
- Effort Justification
- Multiple treatment interference
- Absence of knowledge of the hypothetical conterfactual
ESTs vs EBP
- EBP (evidence based practice) include evidence from the research literature, therapist competnecies and resources , and client preferences, values and context
- EST (empirically supported therapies) - which refer to interventions that have been found to be effacious for specific psychological disorders in either randomized controlled trials or systematic within-subject designs, are merely on instantiation of the research leg of the EBP stool.
Error in clinical judgment
- recency effects
- Illusory correlations
- confirmation biases
- —–Propensity to seek out information that reinforces a predisposition, existing belief or attitude
- —–Propensity to dismiss, deny or distort evidence that contradicts a predisposition, existing belief, or attitude
- inadequate feedback about failures
