Abstract

Research, quantification, and verification of treatment approaches are vital to any treatment field. This paper reviews the problems and challenges to testing new psychotherapy treatment procedures and suggests an innovative way to deal with the problems associated with researching new and innovative treatments. It is suggested that innovative practitioners be assisted in the demonstration and evaluation of their approaches by researchers, allowing the clinicians to demonstrate their method while researchers evaluate the effectiveness of the approach. This approach, the Systematic Clinical Demonstration (SCD) which combines the skills of clinicians and researchers, is described and discussed.
