Matching verbal repertoires: understanding the contingencies of practice in order to functionally communicate with
1Georgia State University, USA.
Abstract:
The low utilization rate of empirically proven treatment techniques, the lack of adequate training being received by practitioners in such techniques, and the systemic resistance within the APA to changes designed to increase the dissemination of and support for empirically validated psychological service delivery lead to one conclusion: changes need to be made to increase the knowledge of and use of empirically supported treatment techniques. Such changes are unlikely to come from traditional psychology organizations. This article focuses on how scientist-practitioners can increase both the knowledge base and the utilization rate of empirically validated treatments by practitioners through understanding the contingencies under which practitioners must operate.
