What is the biggest difference between psychological treatment today and psychological treatment 20 years ago?

▸ Treatment today has eliminated the psychodynamic approaches popular decades ago, as they have been thoroughly debunked by scientific research.

▸ Treatment today emphasizes scientific evidence to guide approaches to treatment. This is called evidence-based treatment (EBT).

▸ Treatment today can only be conducted by a trained physician-a psychiatrist-if it is to be paid for by a third-party insurance company.

▸ Treatment today requires the use of medication for a period of time before psychotherapy can be employed, whereas medications were largely ignored 20 years ago.
