Resources that summarize research‐supported treatments (RSTs) are useful tools in clinical decision making. These resources can be particularly helpful when clinicians are uncertain about which treatment direction to take, when treatment does not seem to be working, when clinicians need to justify their approach to others, and when clinicians do not have time to review recent research on a particular clinical issue. This article describes resources for finding short, user‐friendly summaries of research‐supported group treatments, briefly describes several research‐supported group treatments that are not well described in existing resources, and recommends several ways in which these research summaries can be used to improve group practice. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
