SCL-90-R (Derogatis 1977/1994) — 90 items, 9 subscales, 3 global indices. A multi-dimensional psychopathology screen in 15 minutes. When to pick SCL-90-R over narrow PHQ-9 / GAD-7 / BDI-II. The "9 subscale" factor structure does not replicate cleanly in modern studies — bi-factor model and GSI as the primary outcome (Urbán 2016, N=5,748). The Russian Tarabrina adaptation and the data gap.

Evidence-based practice in psychology is not "I only use RCT-validated methods". The APA 2006 definition: integration of research evidence + clinical expertise + client values. Jensen-Doss 2018 (n=504): only 13.9% of US clinicians systematically use outcome monitoring. What each EBP component means in practice and why systematic MBC functions as a fourth practical component tying the other three together.

Teacher burnout is one of the most prevalent occupational conditions in helping-adjacent populations. Ozamiz-Etxebarria et al. 2023: pooled prevalence 52% post-COVID (9 studies, 8 countries). MBI-Educators Survey (MBI-ES) is the only MBI variant with normative data for educational settings. How teacher burnout differs from physician and psychologist burnout.

A review of validated burnout assessment tools. MBI dominates ~88% of peer-review publications; CBI, OLBI, BAT, and Boyko cover specific niches. Simionato & Simpson 2018: 54.5% of psychotherapists report moderate-to-high burnout. When each instrument works best and why burnout is not a DSM-5 diagnosis.

EAT-26 (Garner 1982) — 26 items, validated eating disorder screen. EDE-Q (Fairburn & Beglin 1994) — in-depth DSM-5 assessment. Lifetime prevalence of any ED in women: 8.4% (Galmiche 2019). What an EAT-26 cut-off of ≥20 indicates, where screening ends and clinical diagnosis begins, and why BED is the most common ED.

Types of supervision (individual, group, peer), what belongs in the contract, frequency, how to evaluate supervisor competence. MBC frame: supervision + client outcome data = more accurate feedback than "let me describe the case from memory". Evidence: Shimokawa, Lambert & Smart 2010 — feedback in supervision doubles the recovery chance for clients on a worsening trajectory.
