• Preliminary Evidence on the Effectiveness of Psychological Treatments Delivered at a University Counseling Center (2009, background): “As mentioned earlier, other differences between clinical trials and those at the center—such as client screening and randomization, session limits, therapist training and supervision, and manualization (Nathan et al., 2000; Rounsaville et al., 1988; Seligman, 1995; Wampold, 1997, 2001; Westen & Morr”
• Single-Case Experimental Designs: A Systematic Review of Published Research and Current Standards (2012, background): “…of the SCED in naturalistic studies to increase the ecological validity of empirical findings (e.g., Bloom, Fisher, & Orme, 2003; Borckardt et al., 2008; Dattilio et al., 2010; Jacobsen & Christensen, 1996; Kazdin, 2008; Morgan & Morgan, 2001; Westen & Bradley, 2005; Westen et al., 2004).”
• Systematic case study research: A practice-oriented introduction to building an evidence base for counselling and psychotherapy (2011, background): “First, there is a growing awareness of the difficulties of basing evidence-based practice solely on evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) (Westen, Novotny, & Thompson-Brenner, 2004 ).”
• Evidence-based treatment and practice: new opportunities to bridge clinical research and practice, enhance the knowledge base, and improve patient care. (2008, background): “and how the evidence is to be used and integrated (e.g., Burns & Hoagwood, 2005; Goodheart, Kazdin, & Sternberg, 2006; Hunsley, 2007; Tanenbaum, 2005; Wampold, 2001; Westen, Novotny, & Thompson-Brenne, 2004 ).”
• Empirically Supported Treatment: Recommendations for a New Model (2015, background): “…also likely decrease the EST movement’s reliance on a large number of treatment manuals, a process to which many authors, even those supportive of the broad EST movement, object (e.g., Fonagy, 1999; Goldfried & Eubanks-Carter, 2004; Levant, 2004; Norcross, 1999; Wachtel, 2010; Westen et al., 2004).”
• Using Clinical Trials to Benchmark Effects Produced in Clinical Practice (2008, methodology): “…limitation of these two studies was that the treatment implemented was not TAU, but an established treatment (in these cases, ESTs) with many of the conditions that distinguish clinical trials from clinical practice (e.g., special training of therapists, supervision; see Westen et al., 2004).”
• A self-determination theory approach to psychotherapy: The motivational basis for effective change. (2008, background): “In fact, evidenced-based treatments typically are criterion-focused and thus often developed on unrepresentative samples with discrete diagnostic presentations ( Westen, Novotny, & Thompson-Brenner, 2004 ).”
