Crane, R. D., and Hafen Jr., M. (2002). Meeting the needs of evidence-based practice in family therapy: Developing the scientist-practitioner model. Journal of Family Therapy, 24, 113-124.Abstract: Effective models of clinical training have been and continue to be a primary topic of discussion in the field of family therapy, particularly given the needs of evidence-based practice. This article outlines the major historical and contemporary struggles of one such model of clinical training and practice: the scientist-practitioner model. Throughout the article, the principles of the scientist-practitioner model and evidence-based practices are compared and contrasted. Suggestions for overcoming the contemporary challenges faced by the scientist-practitioner in a family therapy practice or in an educational environment are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Crane, D. R., Wampler, K. S., Sprenkle, D. H., Sandberg, J. G., & Hovestadt, A. J. (2002). The scientist practitioner model in marriage and family therapy doctoral programs: Current status. Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 28(1), 75-83.Abstract: We discuss the status of the scientist—practitioner model in marriage and family therapy (MFT) doctoral programs. Issues discussed include a lack of faculty research role models in doctoral programs, “farming out” the majority of research courses to other disciplines, problems with curriculum, and how the culture of MFT does not support research. We also present suggestions for improving doctoral research training. The goal is to improve the quality of research training in doctoral programs. We hope that this will help change the culture of MFT to include research as one of its primary goals and greatest assets. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
