Substantive corrections are documented below. Editorial improvements (rewording, formatting, added context) are not logged unless they change the meaning of clinical information.
August 2026
Duplicate modality entries merged: Complicated Grief Treatment and Prolonged Grief Disorder Treatment. The two entries were one protocol recorded twice. Both named M. Katherine Shear as founder, both dated 2005, both described the same 16-session manualized treatment, and both linked to the same Columbia training program under its old and new names: Shear's Center for Complicated Grief was renamed the Center for Prolonged Grief when DSM-5-TR adopted Prolonged Grief Disorder in 2022. Because they sat as separate entries, each page carried a superiority claim that implicitly ranked the protocol against itself. The records are now merged at
/modalities/prolonged-grief-disorder-treatment/, which keeps both names, both citations, and the outcome data that only the Complicated Grief Treatment record carried; the former URL 301-redirects there. Modality count 152 to 151.

Three new interactive tools. Evidence Lookup: select a condition and see every modality ranked by evidence tier with sortable effect sizes and guideline status. Blind Spot Checker: select the modalities you use in practice and discover gaps in condition coverage, epistemological range, tradition representation, and equity/cultural adaptations — with suggested additions. Reading List Generator: filter 464 sources by tradition, condition, or keyword to build curated reading lists with key texts highlighted. 357 total pages, 9 interactive tools.
March 2026
Three new features: global search, knowledge graph, PDF export. Global search (⌘K / Ctrl+K) added across all 297 pages — modalities, thinkers, conditions, and vignettes. Knowledge graph page added at /modalities/graph/ — D3 force-directed visualization of all 151 modalities with 429 connection links, colored by tradition, filterable, zoomable, and clickable. PDF export added to Compare tool — print-optimized stylesheet hides UI chrome and adds attribution. Quick-action entry points added to homepage. Stale modality counts corrected on compare, client-fit, and quiz pages (141→151, 17→16 traditions). 354 total pages.
March 2026
Performance overhaul, taxonomy cleanup, 3 new lineage pages, source URL coverage. Modalities index page reduced from 374KB to 116KB (search data externalized to async load). Compare page reduced from 302KB to 30KB. Google Fonts moved from render-blocking CSS @import to non-blocking preloaded link tags. Google Analytics made async. Three rogue tradition tags fixed (Couples → Family Systems, Eastern-Influenced → Contemplative, Existential-Humanistic → Humanistic) — clean 16 traditions. Three new lineage pages added: Attachment, Contemplative, and Crisis Intervention — all 16 traditions now have lineage coverage (14 pages). Source URLs added to 460 of 464 sources (99% coverage). Stale modality counts on compare, client-fit, and quiz pages corrected from 141 to 151. Sources promoted to main navigation. Source citations added to condition and vignette page templates. Homepage quick-action entry points added. Total: 151 modalities, 22 conditions, 14 lineage pages, 102 thinkers, 464 sources, 353 pages.
February 2025
Guideline-recommended evidence tier now condition-specific. Previously, a modality marked as guideline-recommended for one condition (e.g., EMDR for PTSD) would display as "guideline-recommended" on every condition page where it appeared. The evidence tier logic on condition pages now checks whether the guideline recommendation applies to the specific condition being viewed. A modality is only labeled "guideline-recommended" on a condition page if it has a condition-specific guideline flag (ob[conditionId].gl === true). This prevents misleading evidence claims — for example, EMDR is guideline-recommended for PTSD but not for depression, and the condition pages now reflect this distinction.
February 2025
Content expansion: 7 new modalities, 4 new conditions, 3 new lineage pages. New modalities added: Process Group Therapy, Pluralistic Therapy, Compassionate Mind Training, Rumination-Focused CBT, EFT Tapping, Naikan Therapy, Feldenkrais Method. New conditions: Insomnia, Perinatal Mood Disorders, Adult ADHD, Sexual Dysfunction. New lineage pages: Expressive Arts, Grief & Loss, Integrative & Eclectic. All 148 modalities now have lineage tags and related-modality pairs. Total: 148 modalities, 22 conditions, 11 lineage pages, 87 thinkers.
February 2025
Vignette disagreement callouts added. Each of the 22 clinical vignettes now includes a "Where Approaches Genuinely Disagree" section identifying real clinical tensions between modalities for that case — not just different emphasis, but substantive disagreements about what to do. Examples: whether to expose or stabilize first in panic, whether to explore the meaning of obsessions in OCD, whether to work with the child or the parents in child trauma.
February 2025
Site migration to static pages. All modality pages, condition pages, vignette pages, and philosophy pages migrated from single-page JavaScript application to individually-indexed static HTML pages. Content preserved; no substantive clinical information changed during migration.
February 2025
Condition code fixes. Two modalities (AF-EMDR, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga) had an orphaned condition code `dis` corrected to `diss` (Dissociative Disorders). Neurofeedback and Biofeedback had `adhd` and `tbi` condition codes removed (no corresponding condition entries exist in the dataset).
February 2025
Vignette modality name fixes. Five vignette formulation keys corrected: MI → Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic → Short-Term Psychodynamic, Family-Based Treatment → FBT / Maudsley, DBT (Adolescent) → DBT, Complicated Grief Treatment → Prolonged Grief Disorder Treatment.
February 2025
Tradition consolidation. 25 traditions consolidated to 16 for improved navigability. Merges: Jungian → Psychoanalytic, Adlerian → Psychoanalytic, Existential-Humanistic → Humanistic, Transpersonal → Existential, Trauma (AF-EMDR) → Trauma-Focused, Systemic → Family Systems, Feminist → Social Justice, Experiential → Expressive, Eclectic/NLP → Integrative. Original tradition preserved in data as `t_original`.
