Development of a Scientist-Practitioner Program of Excellence in Exposure-Based I

描述（由申请人提供）：焦虑症是最常见的精神病理学之一。幸运的是，尽管焦虑症的患病率令人生畏，但大量的治疗结果文献表明，焦虑症非常适合基于经验的心理治疗。然而，对心理障碍的有效和有效的治疗取决于能否获得有效的循证治疗培训（Nathan & Gorman, 2002）。本提案的目标是为焦虑症的暴露疗法制定一个科学的临床培训计划，该计划将在培训的各个阶段整合研究和实践，并将作为焦虑症的暴露疗法如何在临床心理学研究生课程和更大的临床心理学社区中传播的模型。这将通过开发和完善一门课程来实现，该课程为临床心理学研究生提供广泛的培训，重点关注焦虑症暴露疗法的概念和经验基础，并为他们提供有效传播循证方法所需的技能。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Anxiety disorders are one of the most common forms of psychopathology. Fortunately, despite their daunting prevalence rates, a large treatment-outcome literature indicates that anxiety disorders are extremely amenable to empirically-based psychological treatments. However, the availability of effective and efficacious treatments for psychological disorders depends upon access to effective training in evidence-based treatments (Nathan & Gorman, 2002). The goal of the present proposal is to develop a scientifically-informed clinical training program in exposure based therapy for anxiety disorders that would integrate research and practice at all stages of training, and would serve as a model for how exposure-based therapy for anxiety disorders can be disseminated both within clinical psychology graduate programs and in the larger clinical psychology community. This will be accomplished by developing and refining a curriculum that provides clinical psychology graduate students with a broad training that focuses on the conceptual and empirical bases of exposure-based therapy for anxiety disorders and that provides them with skills necessary for effective dissemination of evidence-based approaches.
