REVIEWS

"Professors Roberts and Yeager have produced probably the most comprehensive treatment of evidence-based practice. There is everything in here between two covers. The book traverses a vast expanse of territory with depth and clarity, all the way from treating the individual psychotherapy client to evaluating the outcomes of complex community programs. This manual can be the ultimate guide to information ranging from issues in public health to psychology to criminal justice. With the broad spectrum of topics and the in-depth view of the scope of the issues, readers would most likely find the answer regardless what question they may have." --Journal of the American Public Human Services Association "This book is like a large, rare diamond. ....(it) will be used frequently and is destined to become a classic in the important years ahead." --Families in Society .,.".the most comprehensive treatment of evidence-based practice. ....traverses a vast expanse of territory with depth and clarity...." --Journal of the American Public Human Services Association "This Manual represents the most significant and timely step to establish a foundation for understanding and promoting the efficacy of evidence-based social work. Both social work educators and practitioners will find the studies ground-breaking and broadly representative of the field, research methodologies, and our attempts toward greater accountability in social work practice. This outstanding, encyclopedic, and valuable guidebook will greatly benefit experienced educators, practitioners, and researchers as well as graduate students. I give it my highest recommendation." Julia M. Watkins, Ph.D., Executive Director, Council on Social Work Education, Former Dean and Professor, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Maine, at Orono "The Evidence-Based Practice Manual effectively tackles the biggest questions in social work: Is there sufficient evidence on which to base social work practice decisions? Yes! Should social workers be ethically bound to provide best practices assessment and interventions? Yes! Can social work any longer afford to ignore the empirical evidence and practice outside of a best practices model? No! Finally, social work practitioners and educators have an outstanding and complete manual to assist in identifying and applying cutting-edge protocols and evidence-based practice."-Karen M. Sowers, Ph.D., Professor and Dean, The University of Tennessee College of Social Work "Most people who work in the health and human services fields do so because they want to help others, to make a difference. This new, practical guide is a rich resource for what really does work--based on the best of evidence."--William L. Roper, M.D., M.P.H., Dean and Professor of Health Policy and Administration, School of Public Health and Professor of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina "Congratulations to Roberts and Yeager on their magnificent new volume, the Evidence-based Practice Manual, a genuinely seminal contribution to interdisciplinary practice in health and human services. It is the best, most comprehensive, exceptionally well-written and up-to-date book on knowledge-building and evidence-based practice. Every clinician, researcher and administrator should have a copy on their desk!"--Bruce A. Thyer, Ph.D., LCSW, Dean, Schoolof Social Work, Florida State University and Editor-in-Chief, Research on Social Work Practice journal "The Evidence-Based Practice Manual tells you everything you need to know about evidence-based practice, but never thought you could find in one book. The list of contributors reads like a who's who of social service and public health researchers. This comprehensive, multidisciplinary book presents the latest state-of-the-art information about evidence-based practice."--Elaine P. Congress, DSW Professor and Associate Dean, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service
