Abstract:

This special issue highlights new research in psychological assessment and measurement-based care. Psychological assessment has historically been central to the field of psychology. Measurement-based care, considered an evidence-based practice, is a special type of applied psychological assessment in which patient-reported outcome measures are used to track progress in care as part of a clinical process. We discuss how the knowledge from these two distinct but related fields can synergistically advance mental health treatment. The articles in this special issue demonstrate ways to practically implement measurement-based care, the application of measurement-based care in special populations, as well as feature advances in psychological assessment that support the practice of measurement-based care.
