evidence-based mental health treatments through the dissemination of treatment guidelines and
training workshops for VA clinicians. Because the VA is the largest healthcare system in the
U.S., and one of the largest employers of psychologists, its policies have significant bearing on
the broader delivery of mental healthcare. Several key concerns about the VA’s evidence-based
treatment program have arisen: a) What standard does the VA use to determine whether a
treatment is considered evidence-based? b) Do the VA treatment guidelines account for
differential response to therapy within diagnostic groups? c) does the VA encourage clinicians to
use cross-cutting treatments in ways that have been shown to improve outcomes? and d) How
can these decisions affect the training of psychologists? This article attempts to address the
importance of these concerns.
