Publication The Promise of Evidence-Based Practices in Child and Adolescent Mental Health(2014-01-01) Kendall, Phillip C; Beidas, Rinad SThe push for evidence-based practices has dominated the mental health and health care arenas for more than a decade. Conversations among professionals who provide mental health services for youth have included both support and opposition to this position. On the one hand, there is a plethora of discourse indicating widespread support for the need to provide the best available services for youth in need, delivered through the provision of evidence-based practices. On the other hand, there are also opponents to this viewpoint, primarily arguing that evidence-based practices developed in research settings may not fit the context of community providers. A gap already existed between research and practice, and the push for evidence-based practices has further widened the rift between divisions in the mental health field.Publication Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Child and Adolescent Anxiety: The Coping Cat Program(2008-01-01) Beidas, Rinad S; Podell, Jennifer L; Kendall, Phillip CAnxiety disorders are common psychological disorders experienced by youth (Warren & messer, 1999), with reported rates of 10-20% in the general population and primary care settings (Chavira, Stein, Bailey, & Stein, 2004; Costello, Mustillo, Keeler, & Angold, 2004). Anxiety disorders in youth include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social phobia (SP), separation anxiety disorder (SAD), specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (APA, 1994). In this chapter, we focus on treatment for the three youth anxiety disorders: GAD, SP, and SAD.Publication Dissemination and Implementation Science: Research Models and Methods(2013-01-01) Beidas, Rinad S; Mehta, Tara G; Atkins, Marc; Solomon, Bonnie; Merz, JennaDissemination and implementation (DI) science has grown exponentially in the past decade. This chapter reviews and discusses the research methodology pertinent to empirical DI inquiry within mental health services research. This chapter (a) reviews models of DI science, (b) presents and discusses design, variables, and measures relevant to DI processes, and (c) offers recommendations for future research.Publication Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with Youth(2010-01-01) Crawley, Sarah A; Podell, Jennifer L; Beidas, Rinad S; Braswell, Lauren; Kendall, Phillip CCognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) with children and adolescents use enactive, performance-based procedures, as well as cognitive interventions to produce changes in thinking, feeling, and behavior. Various forms of CBT have a common goal to help the child develop a constructive worldview and a problem-solving attitude. The problem-solving orientation can also be referred to as a "coping template." Through the provision of carefully planned experiences, CBT helps the child and family build an adaptive, problem-solving perspective.
