This article reflects on future directions within the field of contextual behavioral science (CBS), focusing on (1) refinement of the theory of CBS and implications for clinical practice; (2) methodological aspects, particularly the utility of individual-level analyses for understanding change processes and customized interventions; (3) how digital resources can be utilized to improve research and clinical interventions, including accessibility to empirically supported treatments; (4) how a systems-oriented approach can improve the ability to address complex problems in, for example, young individuals and their families; (5) why and how dissemination across cultural contexts is an important area of development; and (6) how CBS can be used at a societal level to promote public health, including policymaking and key research studies. It is hoped that directing attention to key challenges and opportunities will inspire other researchers, Finally, suggestions are offered on how to develop the field to gain further knowledge, improve methods, increase evidence, and, ultimately, promote health and well-being. |
