Evidence-Based Practice in Clinical Social Work

Evidence-Based Practice in Clinical Social Work is a reference volume introducing core concepts of evidence-based practice and their application to direct practice. The text portrays evidence-based practice as both an effective clinical approach and a broader social movement.

The volume traces the evidence-based decision-making sequence across assessment, treatment planning, and practice evaluation. It emphasizes balancing empirical research with clinical expertise and client needs, examining both the benefits and the limitations of the model.

Through case illustrations and guidance on communicating research findings, this work serves clinical social workers, educators, and social service administrators managing clinical programs.
