New book analyzes science-based therapy

February 11, 2025

A new book co-edited by David Tolin, PhD, director of the Anxiety Disorders Center at the Institute of Living, is the first to analyze empirically supported treatments using criteria from the American Psychological Association’s Society of Clinical Psychology.

Science-Based Therapy provides updated treatment information by pointing readers to other useful treatment manuals and websites for continuing to stay up to date.

The book’s chapters, all written by prominent experts, highlight the best available evidence for specific disorders by breaking treatments down into credible components. With an emphasis on treatments for adults, chapters also share information about treatments for youth.

Also discussed are other variables influencing treatment such as assessment, comorbidity, demographics and medication. Each chapter also corresponds with a chapter in the companion book, Pseudoscience in Therapy, presenting a full picture of the evidence base for common treatments.
