MANUALS FOR EMPIRICALLY VALIDATED TREATMENTS
A Project of the Task Force on Psychological Interventions
Division of Clinical Psychology, American Psychological Association

Development of this resource
The Division 12 (Clinical Psychology) Task Force on Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Interventions issued a report in October of 1993 establishing criteria for judging whether a treatment may be considered to be empirically validated as well as forming an initial list of well-established and probably
efficacious treatments. Please see that report (Task Force on Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures, 1995) for complete details. In order to facilitate the dissemination of these treatments, the Task Force on Psychological Interventions has now collected a list of manuals detailing the well-established treatments. (One exception will be noted by careful readers: Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Bulimia was inadvertently omitted from the initial Task Force list but is included in this resource.) Of course, this list will be updated as new treatments are empirically evaluated. In addition, several treatments that are in fact empirically validated but were overlooked in the initial report will be added to the updated version. We want to emphasize that this list is inclusive, not exclusive.
In order to compile this resource listing of manuals, we wrote to leading investigators in the respective areas of treatment research, particularly those whose work formed the basis for judging a particular treatment to be efficacious. These investigators provided citations for those published manuals. Many
of them offered to provide copies of unpublished manuals to other clinicians, although requests must be accompanied by a check to cover the costs of photocopying and postage. What qualifies as a manual? In building this resource, we attempted to locate materials that provide sufficient detail to allow a trained clinician to replicate the treatment. Of course, no treatment manual is adequate in the absence of solid theoretical grounding and supervised training in the particular approach. Recognizing this, we have also included, when available, information about training in these approaches. We specifically excluded conference workshops as a training resource, because these workshops typically do not offer the opportunity for supervised experience.
Comments and feedback This listing is intended as a growing resource for researchers and clinicians. We welcome your feedback on the materials listed here, as well as your suggestions for materials we have overlooked. Please contact either of us:
