Boyd-Franklin (applied and professional psychology, State U. of New Jersey), Cleek, Wofsy, and Mundy show beginning and experienced psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, family therapists, substance abuse treatment professionals, and counselors, as well as graduate students, how to translate evidence-based practice to private and public settings and incorporate new clinical models into their current work while dealing with the demands of organizational policies, managed care, and multisystemic barriers. First, they discuss core mediational processes helpful to clinicians, including establishing the therapeutic relationship, psychoeducation and recovery principles, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and acceptance-based principles and practices, and relapse prevention, trigger management, and the completion and treatment, as well as evidence-based practice and incorporating multicultural, racial, and socioeconomic diversity in the therapeutic process. Subsequent sections outline methods of individual, group, and family therapy; guidelines for risk assessment and crisis intervention in challenging situations involving loss, violence, suicide, and homicide; and clinician self-care, supervision, and training.
