Abstract
Evidence-Based Psychological Practice (EBPP) reached a new level of methodological and conceptual perspective in 2025. More than three decades after the American Psychological Association (APA) Division 12 introduced criteria for Empirically Supported Treatments () and following their refinement by Tolin et al. (), EBPP has evolved beyond a narrow focus on experimental efficacy. Contemporary EBPP increasingly reflects an integrated evidence ecosystem that prioritizes not only internal validity, but also contextual relevance, equity, feasibility, and clinical utility across diverse populations and health systems.
