During the twenty-first century, social workers will increasingly use evidence-based knowledge to plan, implement, and evaluate the quality of their own professional activities; this book helps students develop the skills needed for evidence-based social work (EBSW). This book emphasizes the importance of applied practice, critical thinking, and self-directed, lifelong learning. Students learn the fundamentals of the EBSW skills, practice them to establish beginning proficiency, and then apply them to a target client group of their choosing. Students will learn to search for, discover, critically analyze, and apply evidence of what works in service to clients.
