Competence in Intervention

Abstract

Chapter 6 discusses clinical competence in intervention and how to do so in a way that can be considered as typical of or consistent with the practice of counseling psychology. It also covers the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM ), the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP), the competency benchmarks (CB) model, the American Board of Counseling Psychology (ABCoP) model, the current movements toward evidence-based psychological practice (EBPP) and empirically supported treatments (ESTs), and the Division 29 Task Force.
