[Adta] evidence-based practice definitions

[Ilene Serlin]

Hi Christine,

It was my understanding that CBT and DBT have been supported by  
empirically validated, not evidence-based, treatments.

The big difference is that "evidence" allows for criteria that more  
accurately reflect how we think and how we work. Even in evidence- 
based therapy, though, the randomized controlled experiment is still  
the gold standard of research. It is still a process of education....

Take care,

Leni
