On the Relevance and Limitations of Predictive Models in Clinical Psychology

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Following a relevant contribution promoted by the American Psychological Association (Hanson, 2022), prediction statistics in Clinical Psychology represent a series of practices useful to predict the effect of an independent variable on possible outcomes. The study of the relationships between variables enables predictions and dependencies between variables. Such practices would allow for causal clinical reasoning, but this must be evaluated with rigor and knowledge of the existing limitations.
