The Clinical Effectiveness Institute
Developing the clinical judgment that effective psychotherapy requires
The Clinical Effectiveness Institute provides education, training, and professional inquiry for clinicians and organizations seeking to strengthen assessment, formulation, clinical decision-making, and the capacity to evaluate whether psychotherapy is accomplishing its purpose.
Clinical Effectiveness
Clinical effectiveness is requisite for ethical practice. The Clinical Effectiveness Institute begins from the position that psychotherapy must be organized not only by care, knowledge, and professional intention, but by sustained responsibility for whether the clinical work of psychotherapy is helping.
Clinical effectiveness requires the therapist to keep the purpose of the work in view, evaluate whether the process is contributing to that purpose, and revise the work when it is not.
CEI is dedicated to strengthening the clinical judgment required to do this responsibly.
