About the Book

Within the context of the growing demands for ethical, legal, and fiscal accountability in psychosocial practices, Evidence-Based Practice for Social Workers: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Third Edition provides a coherent, comprehensive and useful resource for social workers and other human service professionals. This fully updated text teaches readers to 1) conduct clinical assessments informed by current human behaviour science; 2) implement interventions supported by current outcome research; and 3) engage in evaluation as part of daily practice to ensure effective implementation of evidence-based practices. Sample assessment/evaluation instruments (contributed by leading experts) allow practitioners and students to better understand their use as both assessment and evaluation tools. Case studies and sample treatment plans help the reader bridge the gap between clinical research and everyday practice. Overall, Evidence-Based Practice for Social Workers provides practitioners and students with a thoroughly researched yet practice-oriented resource for learning and implementing effective assessment, intervention and evaluation methods for a wide array of psychosocial disorders and problems-in-living in adults, children and families.

Review :
"This book clearly offers benefits to social work students and practitioners who need a collection of research evidences for assessment, intervention, and strategies to monitor and evaluate progress with each client." -- Hyunsung Oh, School of Social Work, Watts College of Public Service and Community Solution, Arizona State Univerity, Phoenix, AZ, USA, Research on Social Work Practice "This new edition improves on what has been an ambitious and essential resource for the field of social work. The book carefully addresses both critical clinical issues and rigorous research on interventions for the most common adult, child and family clinical problems addressed by social workers. Thomas O'Hare has a gift for integrating complex clinical and research knowledge in an accessible, yet nuanced way." -- Jennifer L. Bellamy, PhD MSSW, Graduate School of Social Work, University of Denver
