  • Summary

    This opening chapter defines the concept of science-based therapy. The original framework for characterizing an approach as an empirically supported treatment is presented, for both well-established treatments and probably efficacious treatments. Also presented, a newer framework – sometimes called “the Tolin criteria” – provides greater emphasis to meaningful functional outcome improvement, meaningful effects in nonresearch settings, and lasting improvements. Other concepts in this chapter include evidence-based practice and pseudoscience in therapy.

  • Summary

    The postscript opens by reviewing the original Chambless criteria for identifying empirically supported treatments. A table lists well-established treatments for all of the disorders discussed in the book. Next, the postscript reviews the newer, more stringent criteria – sometimes called the “Tolin criteria” – for identifying empirically supported treatments, and a second table summarizes the reviews of disorders using these newer criteria.

  • Raising the Bar for Empirically Supported Treatments

  • This is the first book to analyze empirically supported treatments by using the newest criteria from the American Psychological Association's Society of Clinical Psychology, Division 12. Clinicians, scholars, and students all need to stay updated on the treatment research, and this book goes beyond providing updated treatment information by pointing readers to other useful treatment manuals and websites for continuing to stay up-to-date. The 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. Other variables that influence treatment are discussed, including 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.

  • Background

    Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) holds promise for treating generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) but has only been studied in uncontrolled research.

    Aims

    This is the first randomised controlled trial (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01659736) to investigate the efficacy and neural correlates of rTMS in GAD.

    Method

    Twenty five participants (active n = 13; sham, n = 12) enrolled. rTMS was targeted at the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC, 1 Hz, 90% resting motor threshold).

    Results

    Response and remission rates were higher in the active v. sham groups and there were significant group × time interactions for anxiety, worry and depressive symptoms, favouring active v. sham. In addition, right DLPFC activation during a decision-making gambling task increased at post-treatment for active rTMS only, and changes in neuroactivation correlated significantly with changes in worry symptoms.

    Conclusions

    Findings provide preliminary evidence that rTMS may improve GAD symptoms in association with modifying neural activity in the stimulation site.
