title: How should psychology interventions be reported?
abstract: Psychology requires new heuristics for intervention research and reporting. There are problems with evidence-based practice (EBP) and with publications reporting intervention studies in Psychology. These issues are connected. EBP is associated with unsustainable levels of Waste, Inertia, Invalidity, Simplisticity and Opacity. Eleven domains of behaviour change are defined which encompass a vast array of programmes, interventions and techniques. These procedures are delivered in a multitude of combinations enabling millions of different interventions in Psychology. Reporting an intervention study in Psychology is a complex operation. A taxonomy for intervention reports is described.
