Evaluation edit

I removed the "Testing" section because the same citation issue remains that I already mentioned in a previous edit summary (namely that citing an entire book is insufficient to verify the claim—specific page numbers are needed), but also because the single sentence in this section is not nearly specific enough to explain this subject. When and by whom has MOL been evaluated, and how has it been evaluated? This last question, how, is especially pertinent since the creators of MOL have written in the last couple of years about their discontent with psychotherapy evaluation, for example:

  • Carey, Timothy A.; Stiles, William B. (January 2016). "Some problems with randomized controlled trials and some viable alternatives". Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy. 23 (1): 87–95. doi:10.1002/cpp.1942. PMID 25601435. {{cite journal}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help)
  • Carey, Timothy A.; Tai, Sara J.; Mansell, Warren; Huddy, Vyv; Griffiths, Robert; Marken, Richard S. (June 2017). "Improving professional psychological practice through an increased repertoire of research methodologies: illustrated by the development of MOL". Professional Psychology: Research and Practice. 48 (3): 175–182. doi:10.1037/pro0000132. {{cite journal}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help)
  • Donald, Ian N.; Carey, Timothy A. (October 2017). "Improving knowledge about the effectiveness of psychotherapy". Psychotherapy and Politics International. 15 (3): e1424. doi:10.1002/ppi.1424. {{cite journal}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help)

Please discuss here how to create an informative section on the subject of evaluation of MOL. Biogeographist (talk) 01:09, 30 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
