The Future

The entry defines Gestalt therapy, including brief history, major influences, contributors, and current status of Gestalt therapy in terms of memberships and journals. Key concepts are outlined, and the effectiveness and potential for Gestalt therapy's status as an evidence-based practice is framed in relation to recent overviews of empirical research and to what is needed in the future for further research. While the current literature in social work does not reflect a strong emphasis on Gestalt, we emphasize some of the philosophical and ethical compatibilities between these approaches.

Evidence-based practice is now well established in several fields including medicine, nursing, and social policy. This article seeks to promote discussion of whether the practice of industrial–organizational (I–O) psychologists is evidence based and what is needed to make I–O psychology an evidence-based discipline. It first reviews the emergence of the concept of evidence-based practice. Second, it considers the definitions and features of evidence-based practice, including evidence-based management. It then assesses whether I–O psychology is itself an evidence-based discipline by identifying key characteristics of evidence-based practice and judging the extent these characterize I–O psychology. Fourth, some key strategies for promoting the use of evidence in I–O psychology are considered: practice-oriented research and systematic reviews. Fifth, barriers to practicing evidence-based I–O psychology are identified along with suggestions for overcoming them. Last is a look to the future of an evidence-based I–O psychology that plays an important role in helping consultants, in-house I–O psychologists, managers, and organizations become more evidence based.

Bisexuals represent the largest sexual minority group, and they experience disproportionate mental and behavioral health risks compared to monosexuals. There is a dearth of psychotherapy and intervention research focused specifically on bisexuals, although evidence-based practice for this population can draw on professional expertise, qualitative and analog research, quantitative descriptive studies, and randomized controlled trials that include bisexual participants. This chapter reviews these literatures and offers guidance for practice and future directions for research. Informed and reflective practice is recommended to develop a strong working alliance, enhance case conceptualization and collaboration, and adapt manualized treatments. Validation, social support, and attention to bisexual-specific mental health stressors may be especially important, given the pervasiveness of binegativity, bisexual stereotypes, and invisibility of bisexuality. Evidence-based practice with this population will be strengthened by future research that specifically investigates bisexuality in mental health practice.

Tolerance Of Uncertainty

The problem of overdiagnosis reflects physician biases, and the wish to explain complex clinical presentations. Overdiagnosis has also become part of a broader cultural trend in which all human problems are seen as requiring medical treatment. Evidence-based practice, accompanied by a tolerance of uncertainty, can help to reduce the frequency of this problem. The diagnostic manuals of the future will probably not look very much like DSM-5. I expect that they will be based on a deeper and more thorough understanding of disease. But that will take many decades, and we have to remain humble and patient.
