Implementing Evidence-Based Mental-Health Treatments

Shannon Wiltsey Stirman, professor at Stanford University, recentely wrote about key considerations regarding the implementation of mental-health treatments. These include recent findings regarding treatment fidelity, adaptation of treatments, clinical outcomes, and training therapists to provide evidence-based therapies as they were designed to be delivered, ensuring they have the skills and ability to adapt as needed to ensure better fit regardless of where clients receive treatment. To discuss this field and future directions, Dr. Teresa Treat, Professor of Psychology at University of Iowa, interviews Shannon Wiltsey Stirman.
