Tools
Scholarly aids for navigating the field.
Eight interactive tools layered over the encyclopedia — for comparison, formulation, calibration, and deeper reading. Use them as a clinician calibrating across orientations or as a student locating yourself in the landscape.
- Compare Compare Lay up to four modalities side-by-side. Mechanism, evidence, sessions, philosophical assumptions, core tensions, citations.
- Client Fit Client Fit Filter modalities against a presenting picture — condition, training requirements, evidence tier, time-bounded vs. open-ended.
- Quiz Quiz Test your recognition of modalities, their founders, and the conditions they target.
- Identity Identity A short instrument that surfaces the theoretical commitments shaping how you already work.
- Graph Graph The genealogy of psychotherapy as a force-directed graph. Trace influence from philosophical roots through to contemporary modalities.
- Evidence Evidence Evidence tier by modality × condition, with citation IDs. Where the field stands, honestly hedged.
- Blind Spots Blind Spots What each modality systematically fails to see. Not a critique — a calibration aid for working between orientations.
- Reading List Reading List Foundational texts per modality and per tradition. For deeper study, with edition recommendations.
