The aim of this new and important book is to put together under one cover various types of laboratory practices that pair clinical practice with research using standard operating procedures (SOP'S) in evaluations and interventions. The Internet has changed the way psychological evaluations and interventions are going to be delivered in the not too distant future. The chaotic nature of evaluations and interventions in face-to-face practices (thousands of tests and 400 different psychotherapies) will become even more chaotic when practiced online. It is important, therefore, to rely more and more on standardised, uniform practices, SOPs that will assure that those practices go hand in hand with research. Rather than research and practice going along two separate tracks, as it has happened in the past and is still happening in the present, the laboratory method will allow for both practice and research to go along the same track, hand in hand, rather than separately.
