  • Contemporary recommendations in the series are presented without full historical context.

    • Implications:

    • Acknowledging past task forces offers a richer historical perspective on self-administered therapies.
    • Integrating historical context can enhance the understanding and application of current therapeutic recommendations.
    • Future reviews or series on self-administered therapies should consider the foundational work of these American Psychological Association task forces.
