Despite decades of policy emphasizing the role evidence in guiding services, few studies have sought to improve degree which is used supervision and treatment. This study reports supervisor therapist outcomes from Reaching Families multisite cluster-randomized controlled trial, tested effects a coordinated knowledge system (CKS) against practice guidelines (PG) on use treatment targeting low engagement publicly funded youth community mental health organizations located two geographically...
The associative theory posits that creativity relates to people's ability connect remote associations form new ideas, based on the structure of their semantic memory.This has spurred several recent studies connecting memory and thinking creativity, capitalizing advances in computational methods.To date, however, this research almost exclusively focused assessing general population (e.g., assessed via divergent tests), with far less work examining role eminently-creative individuals across...

The clinical decisions and actions of evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP) are largely underspecified poorly understood, part due to the lack measurement methods. We tested reliability a behavioral coding system that characterizes flow interrelated activities includes problem detection prioritization, intervention selection implementation, review integrity impact.
Objective This paper presents a theory-based brief resilience scale, the Resilience Resources Scale (RRS), and evidence for its factor structure, reliability, validity in two studies of undergraduate students. Participants: Study 1 sampled 295 students 2 244 Methods: participants completed RRS other measures online at one time points eight weeks apart (n = 193), or both 102). on single occasion. Results: Factor analyses provided one-factor model. Results indicated high internal consistency...
The idea that psychopathology is associated with exceptional creativity has persisted despite a paucity of corroborating or disconfirming evidence. authors measured psychopathology, including schizotypal personality traits, social responsiveness/autism spectrum and lifetime incidence mental disorders, along lab-based tests in unique sample Big-C (exceptionally creative) individuals. examined visual artists (VIS; n = 35), scientists (SCI; 41), smart comparison group (SCG; 31) matched on age,...
Abstract Introduction Studying neuro‐structural markers of intellectual giftedness (IG) will inform scientific understanding the processes helping children excel academically. Methods Structural and diffusion‐weighted MRI was used to compare regional brain shape connectivity 12 with average high IQ 18 IG children, defined as having greater than 145. Results had larger subcortical structures more robust white matter microstructural organization between those in regions associated explicit...
Abstract Rationale, aims and objectives A key consideration in designing scalable solutions for improving global mental health involves balancing the need interventions to be uncomplicated workers (MHWs) intervention widely applicable many clients. Often these needs are competition, since routinely simplified by removing procedures or reducing their dynamic responsivity, which turn lowers overall utility serving large, clinically diverse populations. The principal aim of this pilot study...
Background Despite the ubiquity of chart notes and their well-known impact on medical providers' job stress satisfaction, little is known about how mental health providers interact with are impacted by documentation requirements, particularly in school environments.

Background: As part of a broad investigation brain and behavior, the UCLA Big C Project studied whether “Big C” (world-class) artistic scientific creativity is linked with schizotypal autistic features temperamental traits are associated creativity. Methods: With Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), International Item Pool Representation NEO PI-R (IPIP-NEO), we examined more than 30 individuals each in 3 groups: Visual Artists (VA), Scientists...
