Exposing readers to "what works" across a wide range of practice domains, Readings in Evidence-Based Social Work meets a growing need within schools of social work to incorporate the latest research on evidence-based practice into the curriculum. This one-of-a-kind reader synthesizes current knowledge, adds editorial commentary and questions, and presents state-of-the-art material to help students better understand which social work interventions work and why.

Key Features:
  • Uses systematic reviews to evaluate studies that test the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions
  • Offers a three-part organization that focuses on the major practice domains of children and families, at-risk youth, and mental health and well-being
  • Provides an overview of the techniques of meta-analysis and systematic review
  • Includes original commentary and discussion questions before each major section and concludes each section with important practice points
  • Discusses barriers to evidence-based social work practice, as well as directions for future work
Readings in Evidence-Based Social Work is appropriate for a wide variety of courses within the Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) and Master's in Social Work (M.S.W.) curriculum including Generalist Social Work Practice; Foundations of Social Work Practice; Social Work Practice with Children and Families; Models of Intervention; Direct Practice in Social Work, Social Work Research; Interpersonal Practice with Individuals, Families and Small Groups; Human Behavior in the Social Environment, and many others.
