Culturally Sensitive Evidence-Based Practice in Mental Health - Paperback

by Marta Garrett (Editor), Allan Berg (Editor), Richard M. Roberts (Editor)

Featuring contributed chapters by experts in the field, Culturally Sensitive Evidence-Based Practice in Mental Health underscores the importance of integrating research findings into clinical mental health practice with a strong focus on cultural sensitivity and individual client care.

The book provides readers with a foundation in evidence-based practice (EBP) by laying out the fundamentals of research consumption at the master's level and production at the doctoral level. It emphasizes the practicality of several evidence-based therapies, such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Filial Therapy, with a deep dive into how these therapies can be culturally friendly and implemented in various contexts beyond their Western origins. Case studies throughout the text offer real-world scenarios to demonstrate the application of these interventions.

Designed primarily for graduate-level students pursuing careers in psychology and mental health, Culturally Sensitive Evidence-Based Practice in Mental Health is also beneficial for existing practitioners looking to enhance their knowledge.
