Abstract:
Boswell et al. (2022) professional practice guideline builds an excellent, evidence-driven argument in favor of the routine implementation of measurement-based care (MBC). Nonetheless, as learned from the attempted implementation of evidence-based psychotherapies, presenting empirical evidence does not affect therapist behavior. As such, we argue for an actionable and practical professional practice guideline. We review some of the most hindering barriers to the implementation of MBC, and we offer guidance introducing some of the efforts needed to overcome them.
