The Incredible Years

Bei der Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit aggressivem Verhalten ist in den vergangenen Jahren vor allem im englischsprachigen Ausland ein Trend zum Einsatz evidenzbasierter psychotherapeutischer Interventionen zu verzeichnen. In diesem Beitrag werden–getrennt für Kindes- und Jugendalter–die am besten evaluierten Therapieprogramme (u. a. Multisystemic Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, The Incredible Years) für diese Indikation dargestellt. Es werden aktuelle Fragen der Implementation und Disseminierung evidenzbasierter Interventionen für aggressive Kinder und Jugendliche diskutiert (z. B. Qualitätssicherung, Therapietreue). Abschließend werden Perspektiven für eine Implementation evidenzbasierter Interventionen in Deutschland aufgezeigt.

Psychological Knowledge

In national codes of ethics the practice of psychology is presented as rooted in scientific knowledge, professional skills, and experience. However, it is not self-evident that the body of scientific knowledge in psychology provides an adequate basis for current professional practice. Professional training and experience are seen as necessary for the application of psychological knowledge, but they appear insufficient to defend the soundness of one's practices when challenged in judicial proceedings of a kind that may be faced by psychologists in the European Union in the not too distant future. In seeking to define the basis for the professional competence of psychologists, this article recommends taking a position of modesty concerning the scope and effectiveness of psychological interventions. In many circumstances, psychologists can only provide partial advice, narrowing down the range of possible courses of action more by eliminating unpromising ones than by pointing out the most correct or most favorable one. By emphasizing rigorous evaluation, the profession should gain in accountability and, in the long term, in respectability.
