DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research education program seeks to bridge the gap between science and practice of psychotherapy training through developing integrative curricula for training in core competencies required for scientifically-informed clinical practice: (a) measurement and assessment, (b) intervention, and (c) evaluation. Evidence-based, scientifically-informed training based on these three core competencies will provide trainees with the skills necessary to develop and administer effective psychosocial treatments, train others in these treatments, and evaluate the impact of treatments, thereby advancing the science and practice of psychotherapy. Based on findings that mood disorders are among the most common and debilitating psychiatric conditions in the United States, and that people with mood disorders are often under-treated, the specific objectives of this project are to develop, evaluate, and disseminate curriculum materials for three empirically supported treatments for mood disorders: cognitive therapy (CT) and behavioral activation (BA) for treating major depressive disorder, and family-focused therapy (FFT) for treating bipolar disorder. Through readings, slides and handouts, videotaped lectures and role-plays, and experiential exercises and supervision, the program seeks to more fully and seamlessly integrate training in scientific knowledge and clinical practice of psychotherapy. The materials will be targeted for the training of clinical psychology graduate students, although they should also be useful in training practitioners in other disciplines and other levels of experience. The impact of the education program will be evaluated in terms of research competence and clinical competence as assessed by standardized fidelity scales. A new website will be developed that will serve as a national clearinghouse for state-of-the-science training materials on CT, BA, and FFT, including the curriculum materials developed for this program. Because the research education program will emphasize training in the core competencies of assessment, intervention, and evaluation required for scientifically-informed psychotherapy, students who complete the program should not only have content expertise in administering a particular empirically supported treatment, but also be well equipped to meet the demands of accountability inherent in current clinical practice, and to train and supervise other clinicians, including clinicians who do not have training in empirically supported treatments. Furthermore, trainees should be well-prepared to advance the next generation of research on scientifically-validated treatments, thereby bridging the gap between the science and practice of psychosocial treatments for mood disorders. This project focuses on the development, evaluation, and dissemination of curricula for training clinical psychology graduate students in core competencies - assessment, intervention, and evaluation - required for scientifically-based clinical practice, with a focus on three empirically supported treatments for mood disorders (cognitive therapy, behavioral activation, family-focused therapy). Many graduate programs offer little or no training in empirically supported treatments, so the materials developed for the program will meet an important need in providing curriculum materials that more fully and seamlessly integrate science and practice in psychotherapy training. Evidence-based, scientifically-informed training based on these three competencies will provide trainees with skills necessary to develop and administer effective psychosocial treatments, train others in these treatments, and evaluate the impact of treatments, which should not only advance the science and practice of psychosocial treatments for mood disorders, but also have a positive effect on public health via improved mental health services.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究教育计划旨在通过开发综合课程来培训科学知识临床实践所需的核心能力，从而弥合心理治疗培训科学与实践之间的差距：(a)测量和评估，(b)干预和(c)评估。基于这三个核心能力的循证、科学的培训将为受训者提供必要的技能，以开发和管理有效的社会心理治疗，培训他人进行这些治疗，并评估治疗的影响，从而推进心理治疗的科学和实践。基于情绪障碍是美国最常见和最使人衰弱的精神疾病之一的研究结果，以及患有情绪障碍的人经常得不到充分治疗，本项目的具体目标是开发、评估和传播三种经验支持的情绪障碍治疗方法的课程材料：认知疗法（CT）和行为激活疗法（BA）用于治疗重度抑郁症，以家庭为中心的疗法（FFT）用于治疗双相情感障碍。通过阅读、幻灯片和讲义、录像讲座和角色扮演，以及体验式练习和监督，该项目寻求将心理治疗的科学知识和临床实践训练更充分、更无缝地结合起来。这些材料将以临床心理学研究生的培训为目标，尽管它们也应该对培训其他学科和其他经验水平的从业人员有用。教育计划的影响将根据研究能力和临床能力进行评估，并通过标准化的保真度量表进行评估。将开发一个新的网站，作为国家信息交换中心，提供有关CT、BA和FFT的最先进的培训材料，包括为该项目编写的课程材料。因为研究性教育项目将强调对评估、干预和评估的核心能力的培训，这是科学心理治疗所必需的，完成该项目的学生不仅应该具有管理特定经验支持治疗的内容专业知识，还应该具备满足当前临床实践中固有的责任要求的能力，并培训和监督其他临床医生。包括没有接受过经验支持治疗培训的临床医生。此外，受训者应做好充分准备，推进下一代经科学验证的治疗研究，从而弥合情绪障碍心理社会治疗的科学与实践之间的差距。该项目侧重于开发、评估和传播课程，以培养临床心理学研究生的核心能力——评估、干预和评估——以科学为基础的临床实践，重点是三种经验支持的情绪障碍治疗方法（认知疗法、行为激活疗法、以家庭为中心的疗法）。许多研究生课程很少或根本没有提供经验支持治疗方面的培训，因此为该课程开发的材料将满足提供课程材料的重要需求，这些课程材料将更充分、无缝地将心理治疗培训中的科学与实践结合起来。以这三种能力为基础的循证、科学的培训将为受训者提供必要的技能，以制定和管理有效的社会心理治疗，培训他人进行这些治疗，并评估治疗的影响，这不仅应促进情绪障碍的社会心理治疗的科学和实践，而且还应通过改善精神卫生服务对公共卫生产生积极影响。
