Abstract
ABSTRACT Intensive psychosocial treatment is presented as a specialized model of care to bridge the research-to-practice gap for evidence-based treatments (EBTs). In the present paper, we describe the UCLA Pediatric Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program as an exemplary intervention setting for clinicians to adapt empirically supported treatment principles (e.g., cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based and dialectical behavioral interventions) and clinical practices (e.g., symptom monitoring, training and supervision, and disposition planning) to address common treatment barriers in the real world, such as clinical complexity, low family engagement, and limited access to specialized treatment. We argue that flexibility in treatment approach, format, and dosage facilitates the dissemination of treatments that are evidence-based but currently under-utilized in usual care settings (e.g., exposure and response prevention for OCD).
