Psychopathology-Psychotherapy Mapper With Therapy Evidence Grade (Beta. Updated 31/05/2025)

The Beta version of the tool Psychopathology-Therapy Mapper is now updated to include 1. fixes to missing therapies and 2. additional supporting and critical sources for many therapies.

Psychological therapies are graded in terms of their evidence base for a few key, interconnected reasons:

• Effectiveness: Grading helps determine which therapies have been proven to work for specific conditions. Higher grades mean stronger evidence of benefit.
• Patient Safety: It prioritizes treatments with demonstrated efficacy, minimizing the risk of patients receiving ineffective or potentially harmful interventions.
• Resource Allocation: Healthcare systems can allocate resources (funding, training, etc.) to therapies with the best evidence, maximizing the impact of limited resources.
• Clinical Decision-Making: It guides clinicians in choosing the most appropriate treatment for their patients, based on the best available research.
• Transparency and Accountability: Grading provides transparency about the quality of evidence supporting different therapies, holding the field accountable.
