What a great book! Stout and Hayes have brought together a wonderful cast of experienced clinicians and clinician-administrators who understand both the need for, and the provision of, solid care for people with mental disorders. Every mental health professional needs books like Evidence-Based Practice in Behavioral Health if he or she is to treat patients within the current standard of care. [This] is a critical book for trainees, front-line mental health and substance abuse clinicians, program administrators, and - especially - clinicians still bound to a questionable past of "but this is the way we've always done it." [C]linicians and clinical administrators who follow the principles in Evidence-Based Practice in Behavioral Health will be doing a favor for both their patients and themselves.
