Staff Perspective: Assessing Patient Readiness for Evidence-Based Psychotherapy
Participants at our evidence-based psychotherapy (EBP) workshops often ask how to determine when patients are ready to engage in these treatments. When I read the article, "VA PTSD Clinic Director Perspectives: How Perceptions of Readiness Influence Delivery of Evidence-Based PTSD Treatment," I was struck by how universal these concerns are. The article describes how providers in VA clinics across the country are addressing these concerns. In reviewing their findings, we might reconsider the assumptions that we each make about patient readiness for EBPs.
