Evidence-Based Practice in Child Mental Health: Recent News and My ESP on EBP by John R. Weisz, Ph.D., ABPP, President and CEO, Judge Baker Children's Center, Professor of Psychology, Harvard Medical School.

This presentation notes the best-supported treatments emerging from recent evidence on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and conduct problems.

An analysis of reasons for slow dissemination suggests an agenda for the future research, and some ESP on what evidence-based practice may look like in the years ahead.
