Clinical and Research Training Curriculum in Behavioral Treatments

描述(由申请者提供)：这个项目的目的是加强威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校(UWM)美国心理学协会(APA)批准的临床心理学博士培训课程。这些变化与NIMH呼吁制定课程以培训临床科学家，这些科学家能够为那些有各种精神健康状况的人开发、测试和实施有效的经验性干预(ESIS)是一致的(RFA-MH-08-080)。威斯康星大学临床心理学项目是一个科学家-实践者项目，在培训Esis的使用和将科学与实践相结合方面具有现有的优势。该项目将利用该计划现有的培训结构以及现有教员在抽动障碍(TD)和脱发(TTM)的习惯逆转训练(HRT)和抑郁症的行为激活(BA)方面的临床研究优势。将实施两项课程修改。首先，在专家咨询的情况下，将制定HRT和BA的发展顺序培训计划，以及评估每次干预中的能力的多模式能力评估，并将其纳入所需课程。第二，将开发一门关于临床研究方法和相关多模式能力评估的必修课。能力评估将表明，学生接受了充分的培训，以(A)将研究成果纳入临床实践，(B)利用临床实践产生研究，以及(C)将他们的研究想法有效地传达到可资助的拨款申请中。描述了评估课程修改的短期和长期影响的计划，并提供了传播计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this project is to enhance the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's (UWM) American Psychological Association (APA)-approved Ph.D. training curriculum in Clinical Psychology. These changes are in line with the NIMH's call for the development of curricula to train clinician scientists who can develop, test, and implement effective empirically supported interventions (ESIs) for those with various mental health conditions (RFA-MH-08-080). The UWM Clinical Psychology program is a scientist-practitioner program with existing strengths in training the use of ESIs and in integrating science and practice. This project will capitalize on the program's existing training structure as well as existing faculty clinical-research strengths in habit reversal training (HRT) for tic disorders (TD) and trichotillomania (TTM) and behavioral activation (BA) for depression. Two curricular modifications will be implemented. First, with expert consultation, developmentally sequenced training programs for both HRT and BA, and multimodal competency-based assessments to evaluate competency in each intervention, will be created and integrated into the required curriculum. Second, a required course in clinical research methods and related multi-modal competency-based assessments will be developed. The competency assessments will demonstrate that students are adequately trained to (a) incorporate research findings into clinical practice, (b) utilize clinical practice to generate research, and (c) effectively communicate their research ideas into fundable grant applications. A plan for evaluating both the short and long-term effects of the curricular modification is described and a dissemination plan is offered.
