Funders of mental health services to youth and families have increasingly required providers to use treatments deemed to be ""evidence-based."" There are several evidence-based family treatment (EBFT) approaches found to be effective with the same types of presenting problems and populations. All of these EBFTs claim to be based on similar theoretical approaches and have specified treatment protocols that providers must follow to be faithful to the model.
