RESEARCH & EVIDENCE

Research & Evidence

We translate peer-reviewed psychotherapy research into accessible, evidence-graded resources that serve consumers, clinicians, and policymakers.

Our Role

CPS does not conduct original research. Instead, we systematically review, evaluate, and translate existing peer-reviewed research into accessible resources. Every evidence claim we make is graded using our transparent four-tier framework, so readers always know the strength of the evidence behind our statements.
