Abstract
We suggest a process for clinical psychologists to collect an evidence base and join the evidenceโbased movement already underway in many areas of medicine. To illustrate this process, we review the history of cholesterol discovery, evaluation, and management as an evidenceโbased process, extracting lessons applicable to the field of psychology. By examining these lessons and building consensus, clinical psychologists can advance the movement along an evidenceโbased practice continuum, improve client care, build a more informative evidence base, and promote equitable reimbursement for psychological practice. ยฉ 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
