Description: The authors make their case that well-being is not on the list of current outcomes established to manage the child welfare system, but that evidence-based practice proves that well-being is fundamental to clinical success and should guide reform efforts. The first chapter indicates that evidence-based practice relies on both understanding incidence in public health tradition and speaking to the question of what works clinically, and the remaining chapters use these two tactics to demonstrate evidence.
