Evidence-Based Practice in Clinical Social Work introduces the key ideas of evidence-based clinical social work practice and their thoughtful application.

This book lays out the many strengths of the EBP model, but also offers perspectives on its limitations and challenges. An appreciative but critical perspective is offered throughout. Practical issues (agency supports, access to research resources, help in appraising research) are addressed – and some practical solutions offered. Ethical issues in assessment/diagnosis, working with diverse families to make treatment decisions, and delivering complex treatments requiring specific skill sets are also included.

Free Download N E & B K Whitehead, "My Genes Made Me Do It! Homosexuality and the Scientific Evidence"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 0473174863 | PDF | pages: 262 | 3.3 mb
Are homosexuals born or made? Are people born heterosexual? Can gays change their sexual orientation? While the West has generally capitulated to the idea that homosexuality is innate and unchangeable, the scientific facts are now indisputable-homosexuality is not biologically hard-wired in any way. In fact half the homosexual population moves towards heterosexuality in the natural course of life-it’s just that very few people ever hear about it . This clear, comprehensive and accessible book takes an objective and orthodox look at over 10,000 scientific papers and draws the only conclusion possible: any biological contribution to homosexuality is weak and indirect. But that doesn’t mean homosexuality is a choice; rather it is discovered to exist within oneself. It is overwhelmingly the cumulative result of personal responses to life events-as many human predicaments are. But people with same-sex attraction are no more the victim of their orientation than anybody else mastered by a deep-seated and powerful set of responses that are environmental in essence. Answers and relief are possible where there is informed assistance. Neil and Briar Whitehead have been researching homosexuality for nearly 20 years. Neil is a research scientist with a PhD in biochemistry. Briar is a writer.

Risk-based policing is a research advancement that improves public safety, and its applications prevent crime specifically by managing crime risks. In Risk-Based Policing, the authors analyze case studies from a variety of city agencies including Atlantic City, New Jersey; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Glendale, Arizona; Kansas City, Missouri; Newark, New Jersey; and others. They demonstrate how focusing police resources on risky places and basing police work on smart uses of data can address the worst effects of disorder and crime while improving community relations and public safety. Topics include the role of big data; the evolution of modern policing; dealing with high-risk targets; designing, implementing, and evaluating risk-based policing strategies; and the role of multiple stakeholders in risk-based policing. The book also demonstrates how risk terrain modeling can be extended to provide a comprehensive view of prevention and deterrence.

"As a social worker, what would you do? How would you begin to address the issues of concern in this case? What questions would you ask and how would you ask said questions in a way that evokes clients’ "true" feelings and experiences? What information would you want to gather from them? What would your assessment entail? How do you rely upon assessment data to search for the best available evidence to find interventions to address issues of concern? What if more than one evidence-informed intervention would "work". What if there are no interventions that address need, effective and culturally applicable? What else should I do to inform intervention and case planning? What if I don’t have the capacity or training to implement evidence-informed interventions to mitigate risk factors for this case and other cases I am assigned to? What if I am unable to implement the intervention to fidelity? How do I ensure what I am doing will meet client goals and address their issues of concern? How do I grapple with simultaneously assessing client values or preference, best available evidence, and my own judgement and biases? These are just some of the questions that even the most seasoned social workers struggle to address"-
