title: Psychotherapy: process, mechanisms, and science-practice integration.
abstract: I received the Early Career Award from Division 29 and the American Psychological Foundation in 2013. In this article, I briefly review some of my research areas, relevant issues, and future directions. Specifically, I focus on 3 core research areas: psychotherapy process-outcome, psychotherapy integration, and science-practice integration. Within each of these core areas, I also touch on important methodological issues. In addition, I argue that progress in the field will require the application of diverse research methods, spanning basic and applied areas, as well as interdisciplinary and interinstitutional collaboration.
