empirically supported treatment

Empirically supported treatment refers to psychological therapies that have been scientifically tested and shown to be effective for specific mental health issues. These treatments are based on rigorous research, including clinical studies, which demonstrate they work better than no treatment or other approaches. The goal is to provide patients with therapies supported by evidence, ensuring they receive interventions with proven benefits. This approach helps mental health professionals choose the most effective strategies, leading to better outcomes for individuals seeking help.
