The Association for Psychological Science’s newest journal, Clinical Psychological Science, emerges from the confluence of recent developments that has made clinical science increasingly central to all areas of psychological science: translational research; transdiagnostic approaches; empirically supported assessment, diagnosis, and treatment; molecular and behavioral genetics and proteomics; neuroimaging; and new treatments focusing on brain and behavior change. The journal provides readers with the best, most innovative research in clinical psychological science, giving researchers of all stripes a home for their work and a place in which to communicate with a broad audience of both clinical and other scientists.

Access, share, and enjoy these top-read Clinical Psychological Science articles today—free through November 30, 2013!

TRUST SCIENTIFIC MEETING Monday 11th November 2013, 11:30 to 12:50,



5th Floor Lecture Theatre
‘From RCT to practice, parallel processes for replication of evidence in the real world’

Presenters: Ann Rowe, Sam Mason & Dr. Dulcie McBride

Chair: David Bell

Replication of the Family Nurse Partnership programme has now exceeded the scale of any other evidence based programme in the UK.  This complex long term home visiting programme has been shown to improve outcomes for children through three randomised control trials in the US and is currently being tested through formative research and a trial in the UK. Replication of the programme across England is led by the FNP National Unit. The National Unit works at system and clinical levels with local sites to ensure that the programme is reproduced in line with the programme model, to create the best possible chance of reproducing the original positive programme results for families. The science of the programme is of many types (RCTs, replication science, neuroscience) and is matched by expertise, artistry and craft in practice and the use of real time data to both assure and improve the quality of replication. This seminar will explore the replication of evidence from the point of view of clinical practice, organisational systems and national leadership.  The concepts of discipline, individualism and authenticity within each of these spheres will be examined to explore how professional and organisational autonomy can coexist with structure and regulation.
