Description

Families today often face a range of urgent problems, and practitioners need to intervene with the most effective methods possible, methods which have been tested and that have proven clinical utility. Mental health service delivery systems are increasingly moving toward these empirically-validated approaches, and practitioners need guidelines as to how such treatments may be implemented in daily practice. Evidence-Based Family Treatment in Social Work Practice reviews the empirically validated treatments that are relevant for family practice in the social work setting.

Reviews

"Corcoran distills evidence-based treatment principles with practical application--a perfect combination for enhancing the effectiveness of students and seasoned practitioners. This well-crafted book goes beyond traditional descriptions of practice and theory to illustrate in detail guidelines for implementing evidence-based practice."--Craig Winston LeCroy, Ph.D., Professor, School of Social Work, Arizona State University, and Author, Empowering Adolescent Girls and Handbook of Child and Adolescent Treatment Manuals

"This book is further proof of the professional maturation of the human services, reflecting the integration of clinical judgement and practice wisdom with the findings of empirical research on the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions. This is a terrific new work that could readily be used as a primary advanced graduate textbook for social workers, psychologists, counselors, and marriage and family therapists. It will also prove invaluable for established practitioners in these fields."--Bruce A. Thyer, Ph.D., LCSW, Dean, School of Social Work, Florida State University, and Editor-in-Chief, Research on Social Work Practice
