Chapter 6 discusses systematic treatment selection (STS) and prescriptive psychotherapy, and covers the approach, applicability and structure, assessment and formulation, processes of change, therapy relationships, methods and techniques, and a case study example.
Chapter 5 discusses multimodal therapy, and how the multimodal approach provides a framework that facilitates systematic treatment selection in a broad-based, comprehensive, and yet highly focused manner. It covers how it respects science and data-driven findings, and it endeavors to use empirically supported methods when possible. Nevertheless, it recognizes that many issues still fall into the grey area in which artistry and subjective judgment are necessary and tries to fill the void by offering methods that have strong clinical support.
