Abstract

In the preceding chapters, we have attempted to show how social workers can use evidence based-practice (EBP) to enhance practice with their clients, and how to incorporate the principles of EBP into clinical decision-making processes. We think that the EBP process is a “public idea” that is actively shaping public opinion about healthcare practices (Tanenbaum, 2003). It is also shaping funding and administrative practices, research funding priorities, and even research education for mental health professionals. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) and EBP have many supporters.
