"Dissemination and Implementation of Evidence-Based Psychological Interventions is an excellent state-of-the-art-and-science volume describing contemporary efforts to move beyond evaluating the effectiveness of selected psychotherapies to a broader effort to place these methods in the hands of frontline practitioners and agencies and to encourage them to provide these therapies to clients." -- PsycCRITIQUES"This is a terrific volume that tackles a major challenge in mental health care: getting treatments that work to the people who need them. McHugh and Barlow have assembled a dream team of experts in treatment development and research on dissemination and implementation. These wise contributors vividly convey the excitement of efforts to put clinical science into clinical practice. This is a must-read for mental health policymakers, clinicians, and clinicalresearchers, and a valuable resource for advanced courses. Bravo to McHugh and Barlow for this timely and valuable contribution!" -John R. Weisz, Ph.D., ABPP, President and CEO, Judge Baker Children'sCenter and Professor of Psychology, Harvard University"Why don't health professionals use evidence-based therapies? This book takes a radical look at the costs and consequences and provides answers. Great work. I plan to change my own dissemination and implementation strategies today." -Gavin Andrews, AO, M.D., Director of School of Psychiatry, Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression at St. Vincent's Hospital, University of New South Wales, Australia"This book provides 'one-stop shopping' for the clinician, clinical researcher, administrator, and policy maven wanting to understand dissemination and implementation as it applies to the evidence-based psychological treatments in high demand. It reviews the background, science, and practical progress, illustrating the ways that implementation plays out in a variety of contexts and how current successes and failures might inform future efforts. In itscomprehensiveness, conciseness, and accessibility, there is nothing remotely like it." -Peter P. Roy-Byrne, M.D., Vice-Chair and Chief of Psychiatry, University of Washington at Harborview Medical Center"The contributors incisively describe the problems and the approaches needed to facilitate implementation and maintenance of best practices at the local, state, national, and international levels. This book goes a long way in moving the young field of dissemination and implementation research forward." -Len Bickman, Betts Chair Professor of Psychology, Psychiatry and Public Policy, and Director of the Center for Evaluation and Program Improvement, PeabodyCollege, Vanderbilt University
