  2. Explain the concepts of evidence-based practice and practice-based  evidence and identify controversies associated with these concepts.

  6. Discuss ways in which an evidence-based practice model might provide  practitioners useful information for making decisions about the degree  to which the treatment modality you selected in #3 is an appropriate  treatment for the disorder you specified.
  7. Conclude your paper with a discussion of your opinion of the utility  of evidence-based practice and practice-based evidence for  practitioners needing to identity effective treatments for psychological  disorders.
