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.
Reviews / Votes
"A useful handbook for new and experienced practitioners who workwith child welfare clients and for those who refer child welfareclients to therapists. It is simultaneously practical andthought-provoking." --Sherrill Clark, Ph.D., Program Evaluation Specialist,University of California School of Social Welfare, CaliforniaSocial Work Education Center "This volume represents an important step in the diffusion ofevidence-based practices and programs to child welfarestakeholders. Although child maltreatment has serious deleteriousconsequences for children, families, and society, the child welfaresystem has been slow to embrace evidence-based practices. Dr. Rubinis commended for compiling a comprehensive collection, withchapters authored by many leading treatment developers andresearchers, of those interventions and programs that havedemonstrated effectiveness or are among the most promising in thefield." --Scott, Henggeler, Ph.D., Department of Psychiatry andBehavioral Sciences, Director, Family Services Research Center,Medical University of South Carolina "At long last, a welcomed and timely resource is available thatidentifies effective evidence-based intervention programs forat-risk and abusing and neglecting families. It is well written andorganized to inform child welfare practitioners, therapists andmental health professionals about prevention and interventionprograms specific to problems and needs of individuals, families,and communities. This book should become a standard reference andresource for students, agency administrators, and practicingprofessionals." --Alberta J. Ellett, Ph.D., Director & PI of theUGA School of Social Work Child Welfare Education Program,University of Georgia, School of Social Work "Allen Rubin has edited an impressive collection of originalchapters authored by experts in the field of child maltreatment,into a comprehensive summary of empirically supportedinterventions. Topics are exceptionally diverse, ranging fromdirectly treating abused children, family work, therapy withchildren exposed to parental domestic violence and substance abuse,and parent training programs. All the structured programs with highlevels of empirical support are included, making this an invaluableresource for all providers of services in the area of childmaltreatment. This would also make an excellent primary textbookfor courses focused on child maltreatment." --Bruce A.
