Improve Access

This chapter provides an overview of state efforts initiated at both the federal and state levels to improve access to evidence-based psychological interventions (EBPIs). Several novel strategies for facilitating implementation, such as university-state mental health system collaborations, as well as the importance of the development of financial infrastructure for the initiation and maintenance of these efforts are described.

Abstract Background Although there is increasing investment to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) in public systems across the USA, continued or sustained use of EBPs after initial implementation remains a challenge. The low integration of EBPs in routine practice severely limits their public health impact, highlighting the need to understand factors that affect the return on costly investments in EBP implementation. This study aims to (1) characterize trajectories of EBP delivery volume through a reimbursement-driven implementation and (2) examine impacts of system-level policy regulatory activity and state-level mental health services funding on the implementation reimbursement strategy. Methods This study involved secondary data analyses. Psychotherapy administrative claims and regulatory site visit data from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and California state mental health expenditures were extracted from 2010 to 2017. Multilevel regression examined EBP claims volume over time with state expenditures and regulatory compliance as predictors. Results EBP claims volume trajectories demonstrated a rapid initial increase, followed by a period of decrease, and a small increase in the final year. State mental health expenditures increased across time reflecting increased funding availability. State mental health expenditures and system regulatory compliance were inversely related to EBP claims volume. Conclusions The impact of reimbursement-driven EBP implementation strategy is sensitive to multiple outer-context determinants. At the system level, commitment to fidelity of implementation regulations resulted in reduced use of the reimbursement strategy. Alternative reimbursement streams not tied to EBPs coupled with an expanded array of reimbursable services also impacted the use of the reimbursement strategy to implement EBPs.

Clinical Counseling

This chapter considers the role of knowledge and evidence in comparing and contrasting the ethics of non-clinical counseling (NCC) and mainstream mental health care as practiced by psychiatry, clinical psychology, and social work. As helping traditions which mostly eschew diagnostic categorization and approach mental distress from different values, practices, and metaphysical standpoints, the three NCC traditions considered here are found to be prone to errors of omission, e.g., not knowing what one does not know. While mainstream mental health is also subject to these errors, the mainstream’s allegiance to evidence-based practices leaves it prone to neglecting the crucial role of the clinician in dialogue with the patient. The authors conclude by arguing for wider appreciation of the contributions of clinical interpretation from the philosophy of psychiatry.

Professional Discipline

This entry focuses on services for adults with severe mental illness, specifically the five psychosocial interventions considered evidence-based practices. The emergence of psychiatric rehabilitation, the only professional discipline designed to serve a specified population, is described. The primary historical practice approaches, which are the foundation for psychiatric rehabilitation, are discussed. Each of the five evidence-based practices is then described with the empirical supporting evidence. The emphasis on this population and interventions were selected as social workers are the major providers for this population and frequent implementers and developers of these interventions.
