Documents on Empirically Supported Treatments by Chambless and Colleagues

NOTE: For information about the current work of the task force, now called the Committee on Science and Practice, please contact its present chair, Stanley Sue, at ssue@ucdavis.edu. I am frequently asked whether the committee has issued an updated list of ESTs. To my knowledge, it has not, and this is not the current focus of the group. Rather, the present work is focused on looking at issues of race, ethnicity, and class in the context of ESTs.
