The Role of Assessment in the Evidence-Based Practice of Psychology
Consumers, insurance companies and practitioners increasingly desire the use of proven, effective treatment interventions for their patients. This informative one-day workshop, facilitated by two clinical psychologists who work extensively with children, will define and examine a variety of Evidenced-Based Practices (EBP) as they apply to the treatment of children. The presenters will focus on the most commonly diagnosed Internalizing and Externalizing disorders, primarily anxiety, depression, ODD and ADHD, as well as treatment of trauma. This advanced workshop will focus on the clinical application of the current research, allowing participants to leave with increased knowledge of the current EBP literature as well as practical clinical skills and resources to utilize with clients.
