Abstract: Over the last several decades, research in clinical psychology has generated many different treatments targeting many different mental disorders.Yet many individuals with mental health problems do not receive evidence based treatments (EBTs) fitting their clinical profile (Kessler, Merikangas, & Wang, 2007;Shafran et al., 2009;Stobie, Taylor, Quigley, Ewing, & Salkovskis, 2007).Two important obstacles to this goal are: (1) the current symptom-based classification system for mental health disorders, and (2) the dearth of cost-effective treatment dissemination mechanisms.Following an increase in understanding psychopathology driven by behavioral studies and cognitive neuroscience, the field has witnessed the emergence of trans-diagnostic treatments targeting general dysfunctional processes and mechanisms of change common across disorders.Large-scale treatment dissemination remains a grand challenge for the field (Biederman, Newcorn, & Sprich, 1991;Regier, Narrow, Kuhl, & Kupter, 2009).Common barriers include the Franks, Thao Truong, Susan Blandthe pillars of the BRTC, for their continuous kindness and help.
