This book introduces the key ideas of evidence-based clinical social work practice and their thoughtful application. This book lays out the many strengths of the EBP model, but also offers perspectives on its limitations and challenges. Practical issues (agency supports, access to research resources, help in appraising research) are addressed and some practical solutions offered. Ethical issues in assessment/diagnosis, working with diverse families to make treatment decisions, and delivering complex treatments requiring specific skill sets are also included.
