Behavioral Interventions in Psychiatry surveys skills-based psychotherapies that improve outcomes across diagnoses—CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, exposure, and behavioral activation—with practical guidance for stepped care. This page shows how to match interventions to stage of change and functional targets, integrate brief protocols in primary care and ED settings, and measure progress with ePROs. If you’re comparing options like a psychiatry conference, you’ll find implementation details on session structure, between-visit practice, and relapse-prevention scripting. Because many attendees also treat substance use, we link to CBT for Substance Use so teams can run unified, transdiagnostic skills across SUD and mental health.

Real-world delivery depends on fidelity with flexibility. We outline micro-interventions for high-flow settings, group formats that scale access, and digital augmentation (asynchronous lessons, text nudges) to sustain practice. Protocols address sleep, avoidance, and emotion regulation; cultural adaptation and language access keep care relevant. Measurement-based care tracks function and quality of life as well as symptoms; supervision and reflective practice maintain clinician wellbeing and consistency. Equity considerations—transport, cost, caregiver time—shape uptake, so workflows bake in reminders and flexible scheduling.
