abstract

  • This special issue grapples with how best to use science to encourage the use of evidence-based practices. We use this commentary to respond to this broad theme. We emphasize that (a) concerns about gaps between the promise of science and implementation are not unique to mental health, but mental health conditions should be included in national efforts to address the overall quality gap; (b) advances are needed in implementing evidence-based psychotherapy and in creating efficiencies in therapy protocols across multiple disorders; (c) research as well as practice should become more responsive to the values of clients and communities; and (d) leadership is needed across these areas to transform science advances into practice solutions. © 2006 American Psychological Association.
