(1/n) Thrilled/relieved that a paper @nbarneshorowitz Courtney Forbes Michelle Craske (@ADRC_UCLA) & I have been working on for 3 years has been accepted to @ERWatkins2's #BRAT Special Issue on CBT Active Ingredients sciencedirect.com/journal/behavi… @ELSpsychology osf.io/7tpje 
(2/n) We propose a theoretical model to support research on psychotherapeutic mechanisms of change and precision treatment approaches by improving the measurement of the active elements of cognitive-behavioral therapies.
(3/n) We argue active element measurement should break down into:
delivered: procedures & activities delivered by therapist
received: what client receives from therapist in session
applied: formal practice outside session facilitating transfer of skills & knowledge to daily life

(4/n) I spent a long time writing a detailed thread but closed the window by accident and lost everything, so what follows is a greatly abbreviated version:
(5/n) I owe a debt of gratitude to dozens of people for taking the time to chat with me about our model and this paper, which was inspired by great work, including but not limited to...
(6/n) @lluaces on cognitive change and cognitive change procedures sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
(7/n) @pimcuijpers' great piece in @AnnualReviews Clinical Psychology: annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/an…
(8/n) @SBruijniks work experimentally isolating therapy procedures journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…
(9/n) @BruceChorpita's seminal work on Distillation and Matching Common Elements link.springer.com/article/10.100…
(10/n) @mirandarwolpert and @wellcometrust's great new initiatives on active ingredients thelancet.com/journals/lanps… ...
(11/n) for which @JackieBullis MGC and I received a grant that we were unable to take, but which was great fun dreaming up (@ Jackie we should still find a way to do that podcast someday)
(12/n) @DrAlliHarvey and her lab's fantastic work on learning and memory in treatment journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…
(13/n) @EikoFried's huge paper on the importance of Theories and Models in psychological science tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
(14/n) and @jonashaslbeck's paper on Formal Theories and Data Models psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2022-…
(15/n) finally, the work excites/inspires me most right now is the work computational modeling panic from Don Robinaugh and colleagues psyarxiv.com/km37w/ and showing how (paper led by @jonashaslbeck to be submitted soon) it can be used to understand and personalize treatment
(16/n) if you want more history/discussion of this sort of thing, check out the paper: osf.io/7tpje we also provide recs for measuring active elements, and propose the creation of a publicly available Active Elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies Measurement Kit
(17/n) sorry to everyone I left out of the mentions who’s brains I picked for the paper. @ChrisWebbPhD @dan_strunk @bringmann_laura John Weisz, @RobertDeRubeis @PF_Hitchcock (who gave great feedback on the paper) @CheriLev @matt_southward_ Shannon Wiltsey Stirman & many others
