Few texts draw together the wide range of evidence-based interventions in a manner that can assist the health practitioner to choose and implement the treatment that is most likely to be effective. The aim of this text is to present practical information about evidence-based therapeutic approaches to facilitate appropriate intervention selection and implementation. Each chapter provides a theoretical rationale for an intervention approach, which is followed by a description of the evidence base for that approach. Issues in the implementation of the particular approach are then outlined, highlighting its positive aspects but also dilemmas and challenges that may arise. Drawing on case material or clinical experiences, authors have highlighted practical issues that need to be considered, and additional practical clinical resources are provided.
