Although a wealth of evidence supports the use of evidence-based psychological practice (EBPP) for clients with diverse difficulties, from anxiety and depression to behavioral problems, the majority of training in EBPP takes place at the doctoral and postdoctoral level. This is problematic given that there are many more master’s level mental health professionals than doctoral ones, especially in rural and low-income areas. This article outlines a model for a 60-hour training program that focuses on preparing master’s students to become competent in the practice of EBPP in a relatively short period of time, while at the same time meeting requirements for licensure in most states. Course sequence, course content, clinical experience, and supervision issues are all addressed, as are challenges to implementation of the model.

The use of evidence-based assessment principles is critical in providing contemporary psychological assessment services. Moreover, to ensure that psychological practice is truly evidence-based, scientifically sound assessment results must be incorporated into psychological treatment services. To this end, this volume provides reviews of psychological instruments appropriate for the clinical assessment purposes of (a) diagnosis, (b) case conceptualization and treatment planning, and (c) treatment monitoring and treatment evaluation. Chapters in this volume address the assessment of the most common disorders and conditions among children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and couples. Strategies and instruments for assessing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, couple distress and sexual problems, health-related problems, and many other conditions are covered in depth. Chapters include standardized tables that present ratings of norms, reliability, validity, and clinical utility for clinical assessment instruments. Overall, the volume provides essential information on the most scientifically sound instruments available for a range of psychological assessment purposes.
