Evidence-based Practices in Mental Health

Unfortunately, this multifaceted topic has been reduced to simplistic and polarized arguments. This book, designed for mental health practitioners, trainers, and graduate students, addresses 9 fundamental questions in the debate on EBPs. Each chapter centers on a single question in the ongoing debate and consists of focused position papers on that question. The position papers, contributed by some of the most respected psychologists writing today, are argued with passion and intelligence. Each chapter concludes with a dialogue among the contributors in which they emphasize their points of agreement and disagreement, which makes the book an ideal tool for teaching and discussion.
