ABSTRACT
In a 2011 paper by Alan Kazdin and Stacey Blasé, in Perspectives in Psychological Science, the authors state, “at any given time approximately 70% of the individuals in need of psychological services do not receive them.” According to Kazdin and Blasé, “While one-on-one psychotherapy will always have a valued place, the discipline needs to supplement it with an entire portfolio of new models for delivering interventions focused on both prevention and treatment of mental and substance abuse disorders.” They continue, “Possibilities include the use of media, self-help approaches, technology, lay people and new settings for interventions” (Kazdin & Blasé, 2011, pp. 21–37).
