  1. The Evolution And Promise Of Practice Research Networks

  2. Overarching Goals Of PRNs Bringing together of practicing clinicians and clinical researchers to conduct scien-tifically rigorous research (internally valid) in the practice setting (externally valid) on clinically meaningful questions in order to acquire basic knowledge about psycho-pathology and psychotherapy Evolving a true integration of practice and science

  3. PRN Developments • Pennsylvania Psychological Association PRN • History • Phase I, II, and III Research • National PRN • Training Clinics PRN

  4. PPA PRN • 1994 Task Force • 1995 Meeting of Clinicians and Researchers • Creation of Infrastructure (core battery, procedures, and ethics) • Phase I Outcome

  5. Problems and Obstacles Identified • Time and Resources • Agreement on a Core Battery • Incentives for Clinicians • CE credits • Reimbursement for time • Clinically relevant questions & assessments • Rapid feedback • Incentives for Clients • Clinically meaningful assessments • Reimbursement for post-therapy assessments • Rapid feedback

  6. PPA PRN • Phase II Experimental and Process Study • Client and therapist descriptions of helpful and hindering events during each session • Phase III Process Study • Identification of what therapists actually do in therapy from the perspective of the client, therapist, and objective coders

  7. National PRN • Behavioral Health Laboratory data base • Castonguay and Safran grant proposals

  8. Training Clinics PRN • Goals • Evolving the meaning of scientist-practitioner training • Creation of research infrastructures for student and faculty research • Collaborations among training clinics on research questions of mutual interest

  9. Current Status • Academy of Psychological Clinical Science • Treatment Outcome Package On-Line and Free • Penn State Clinic

  10. PSU Clinic

  11. PPA-PRN

  12. Types Of Research • Descriptive • Correlational and Dispositional Group Comparisons • Experimental, Including Additive, Dismantling, Parametric, and Catalytic Designs • Process (especially Mediational Research)

  13. Assessments • Core Battery (Pre, Post, And Follow-Up) • Diagnostic-Specific or Presenting Problem-Specific Measures • Session Outcome Measures • Measures Specific to the Specific Research Questions
