This evidence-based guidelines initiative is critical for linking our science to practice and the professional identity of psychologists as scientists.

This is an important initiative that APA should support enthusiastically.

This is a critical endeavor for APA to support in order to ensure that the link between research and practice in clinical psychology does not widen.

I strongly support the development of science-based clinical practice guidelines, as these are essential to continue to build the much needed linkages between evidence and practice in clinical psychology.

In the UK NICE has been producing evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of mental health problems for a decade. The guidelines have greatly enhanced the public and political support for psychological therapies and have unlocked substantial funding to pay for the public to benefit from the therapies. US guidelines could easily have the same impact.

To my mind, the development of clinical treatment guidelines is the single most important initiative taken up by the Association in recent memory and should remain at the very top of priorities for funding. For many of us, to see this initiative wither on the vine would be a "final straw" concerning the ability for APA to improve practice standards and health care . So much of what APA does is motivated by guild interests and to see it be a leader in evidenced-based health care and act in the public interest rather than guild interest would help insure to APA's relevance to the discipline.

As a member of APA's Board of Professional Affairs, which oversees these clinical and practice guidelines, I am committed to fostering this important work. Evidence-based guidelines are crucial for the future of professional psychology. We are fortunate to have such a stellar clinical science team to develop them.

Even if I were not involved in helping to oversee the guideline development process I would be wholly supportive. I am a big fan the treatment guidelines generated by NICE in the UK and what they have been doing to increase access to psychosocial treatments (IAPT). We have nothing like that in the states (yet) but it gives us something to shoot for.

Finally! Psychology has been so late to develop practice guidelines and this is sorely needed. So glad there isd such a great team working on this!!
