Faculty:
Anne Marie Albano, Ph.D., ABPP, is an assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the Columbia University School of Medicine. Albano is a Beck Institute Scholar in Cognitive Therapy and a Founding Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. She is the past editor of Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, representative at large for the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (formerly AABT) and secretary of the Division of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology of the American Psychological Association. Albano’s research and clinical interests focus on the development of empirically based assessment and treatment methodologies for children and adolescents with anxiety disorders. She is presently a principal investigator of a multicenter clinical research trial funded by the National Institutes of mental Health examining the relative efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, combination treatment, and placebo for youth and anxiety disorders. Albano is the co-author of the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children with Wendy Silverman and the treatment manuals When Children Refuse School: Therapist and Parent Guides with Christopher Kearney.
Shannon Dorsey, Ph.D., is the recipient of the 2013 Western Psychological Association’s Enrico E. Jones Award for Research in Psychotherapy and Clinical Psychology. She also is an Associate Professor and Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. Her research is on evidence-based treatments (EBT) for children and adolescents, with a particular focus on dissemination and implementation of EBT domestically and internationally. Her work has often focused on Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), with hybrid research designs that include both effectiveness and implementation questions. Research has focused on adaptation for unique populations (e.g., foster care) and on training and supervision strategies to deliver TF-CBT and other EBT. Dr. Dorsey is a Principal Investigator on two NIH-funded randomized controlled trials (RCT) involving TF-CBT, both of which include implementation and clinical outcome research questions. The first, in Washington State, studies the role of supervisors in public mental health settings in supporting EBT with clinicians under their supervision. It includes both a descriptive study of common supervision practices and a RCT of supervision strategies. The second, in Tanzania and Kenya, is a RCT of TF-CBT using a task-shifting/task-sharing model in which lay counselors, with little to no prior mental health training, deliver group-based TF-CBT to children and adolescents who have experienced the death of one or both parents, under close supervision by local supervisors, themselves supervised by TF-CBT experts. Dr. Dorsey is also involved in common elements EBT training initiatives and research both in Washington State and internationally, in low and middle income countries. With colleagues at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, she is involved in RCT and feasibility studies in Southern Iraq, the Thailand-Burma border, Colombia, Zambia, and Ethiopia.

In collaboration with colleagues at Duke University Medical Center, he also recently completed a pilot study of CBT for Tourette’s Disorder in adolescents and young adults. He has presented on the psychopathology and treatment of pediatric OCD, trichotillomania, and related problems in lectures and workshops both nationally and internationally, continues to be active clinically in providing CBT for OCD and related conditions, and is a member of the Science Advisory Board for the OC Foundation and the Trichotillomania Learning Center, patient organizations devoted to disseminating knowledge and improving patient and family access to expert clinical services for these often impairing conditions.
