Abstract: 

Today’s mental health care system, with high costs and ongoing pressures from third-party payers and policy makers, requires that treatments maximize effectiveness while minimizing costs (Deegear & Lawson, 2003). Given the current demands on mental health services delivery, there has been a movement toward time-limited and shortterm approaches. The practice of manualized treatments allows for stronger evidence of treatment effects, given that the effects can be more confidently attributed to the treatment.
