Evidence-Based Criteria for Differential Treatment Planning of Implant Restorations for the Maxillary Edentulous Patient

For many professional psychologists, assessment is viewed as a unique and defining feature of their expertise. Criteria for evaluating the scientific evidence supporting clinical instruments are presented in this chapter, including criteria for norms, reliability, validity, and clinical utility. These criteria are used by chapter authors in this volume in their condition-specific reviews of assessment instruments used for (a) diagnosis, (b) case conceptualization and treatment planning, and (c) treatment monitoring and treatment evaluation. Selecting and using scientifically sound instruments is a necessary starting point for evidence-based practice, but a remaining challenge is for professionals to integrate the resulting assessment data in a manner that is itself evidence-based.

Domestic Violence Treatment

In 2010, the State of Colorado revised its state standards to create consistency across the state for its domestic violence (DV) cases by placing emphasis on the integration of evidence-based practices into its DV treatment programming. Since then, Colorado has established a three-tiered differential treatment model informed by the principles of effective intervention (PEI), an evidence-based framework found in correctional programming. This article reviews the PEI framework, outlines the emerging research that explores the principles among DV offenders and their treatment, and provides an overview of Colorado's differentiated DV treatment model. Policy and research considerations are also discussed.
