Evidence-Based Mental Health Practice: A Textbook By Robert E. Drake by L. Fury (NY)

4 Stars

I am currently using this text for one of my graduate courses called, Evidence-based Practice in Mental Health. I am an MSW student and have found this book to be of great use and help in understanding both the positives and negatives towards mental health practice moving toward only being recognized if it is evidence-based. I would reccommend this book to anyone who is particularly interested in Mental Health practice or is teaching a course on evidence-based MHP. I feel that the book is completely comprehensible and not overly redundant. The information could be very useful for all students but especially for students who are unfamiliar with evidence-based practices and what that really entails and means. I feel the book does a great job at explaining all the necessary information students should be critically appraising and thinking about in terms of their own personality and theoretical orientations that they choose to come from when approaching therapy or counseling.
