Book details

Book description

Evidence-based interventions are increasingly being required by third-party payers and an evidence-based orientation has come to define ethical practice. This compendium of short, how-to chapters focuses on the programs and interventions to prevent child maltreatment that have the best scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness. Interventions and programs discussed include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Multisystemic Therapy, Coping Cat, and many more. Busy practitioners will appreciate this book's implementation of evidence-based practices by providing the practical and "what now" rather than using the typical academic approach. Allen Rubin , PhD, holds the Bert Kruger Smith Centennial Professorship in Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin, where he has been a faculty member since 1979. He is the author of a number of bestselling titles in social work research. In addition, he is the past president of the Society for Social Work and Research.
