These include: a)
development of treatment selection guidelines; b) continued emphasis on identification and elaboration
of the processes

of strategies for enhancing outcome and generalization
of effects, especially with respect to underserved groups; d) the role
of PMT as a preventive intervention; and e) greater attention to the
conceptual, empirical, and pragmatic
issues that are involved in large - scale dissemination.49 Incorporating innovative technologies in the design, delivery, and enhancement
of PMT (e.g., via the internet and smartphone apps) is particularly promising.50
