Members of the PracticeWise Community,
The Spring 2018 updates to the PracticeWise information resources are now available online.
Resource Updates
The PracticeWise Evidence Based Services Database (PWEBS) was expanded once again and now covers over 1,000 research papers. Here is the brief summary of changes and additions to the treatment family strength of evidence levels:
Anxiety
Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Expression was introduced as a treatment family and achieved Good Support (Level 2).
Attention
The Executive Functioning Training treatment family improved to Minimal Support (Level 4).
Autism
Family Psychoeducation was introduced as a treatment family and achieved Good Support (Level 2).
Social Skills and Peer Pairing was introduced as a treatment family and achieved No Support (Level 5).
Eating
The Family-Focused Therapy treatment family improved to Best Support (Level 1).
Substance Use
Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Family Therapy was introduced as a treatment family and achieved Moderate Support (Level 3).
Traumatic Stress
Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Expression was introduced as a treatment family and achieved Minimal Support (Level 4).
A couple of these new treatment families incorporated existing families to better account for similar variants of treatments. For example, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Expression incorporated treatments from other families such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Music Therapy, and Psychodrama. Similarly, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Family Therapy incorporated Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Functional Family Therapy along with new variants.
The Practitioner Guides were expanded to include new practice guides for:
- Caregiver Psychoeducation: Trauma
- Discrete Trial Training
- Line of Sight Supervision
- Peer Pairing
The Clinical Dashboards have a few minor updates and modifications. We have added a new option, the Clinical Dashboard Basic Edition v4.01, that has the same look and feel as the advanced editions but more ease of use with fewer features.
Our collection of online courses has expanded to include a practice course for Motivational Enhancement.
A new page for MAP Agency Supervisors has been launched in the My Roles section of the website. This page includes current materials and resources for training, supervision, and consultation in the MAP Direct Services curriculum. It also provides direct links to a variety of MAP resources for easy access. If you are an Agency Supervisor, please visit the new page to see the options and let us know what you think.
We encourage you to check in periodically on all of our resources and continue to send us your suggestions and contributions.
Best wishes,
The PracticeWise Team
