Abstract
SummaryMost of the novel psychological therapies reviewed by Turkington & Lebert have their roots in at least one traditional approach of cognitive, behavioural and meditation practice. These therapies offer exciting prospects, but none as yet has a strong enough evidence base to warrant routine implementation in the National Health Service. In a climate of scarce resources, implementation of novel therapies is likely to come at the cost of traditional therapies with a stronger evidence base. Clinical practice must not run ahead of the evidence, but we must enable new, targeted treatments to be implemented in a timely manner once their evidence base becomes secure.
