Synopsis

This text underscores the importance of integrating research findings into clinical mental health practice with a strong focus on cultural sensitivity and individual client care. It provides readers with a foundation in evidence-based practice (EBP) by laying out the fundamentals of research consumption at the master's level and production at the doctoral level. It emphasizes the practicality of several evidence-based therapies, such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Filial Therapy, with a deep dive into how these therapies can be culturally friendly and implemented in various contexts beyond their Western origins.
