This chapter has outlined the importance of decision-making for LICBT practitioners working in a stepped care mental health service delivery model. Decision making as to whether Step 2 or Step 3 of a stepped care model are more suitable to meet patient needs have been outlined with respect to exclusion and inclusion criteria and linked to research evidence (NICE, 2011b) and clinical guidelines such as the DSM (APA, 2013) and ICD-11 (WHO, 2018). Finally, the key self-correcting mechanism of stepped care has been highlighted, alongside emerging research on the possible number of sessions and level of patient improvement to inform decision making for stepping up and/or ending treatment.
