Q & A With Psychological Scientist Alan Kazdin (Part 2)
Below is part 2 of Kazdin's Q & A: 1. Do therapists you know believe that expanding their media outlets interfere with patients' progress or encourage it? I do not have knowledge of what therapists currently believe about the important question you ask. The nice feature is that our beliefs can serve as a basis for doing the research to find out what does and does not interfere with progress. We know already that patients can profit enormously from media-based (e.g., web, internet, smartphone) treatment. As a mode of delivering treatment there are many examples that this can be done effectively.
