Background and development of a program of validation in Argentina]

RESUMO

Evidence suggests that while clinical practitioners generally value scientific validity, most clinical practices are supported by personal experience and belief. On the other hand, the Empirically Supported Therapies are rejected by most therapists who consider them inflexible and poorly adapted to each particular case. Larry Beutler et al, have developed a method based on scientific evidence called Systematic Treatment Selection (STS), that guides the clinician in the decisions about which are the most appropriate type of interventions for each particular patient. Fundación Aiglé and Centro Privado de Psicoterapias have developed a validation program with a local sample of three hundred patients. The following article will present the principal concepts of STS, as well as the steps and preliminary results of the validation program in Argentina.
