Reviews

This book articulately describes an ambitious range of articles and topics by highly esteemed scholars in the U.S. and Canada. The international perspective is a valuable addition to available discussions of evidence based practice. Dee Wilson, Casey Family Programs This book's topical coverage alone is a contribution to the child welfare research and practice literature, and it synthesizes a considerable amount of material that educators may find useful, not only in child welfare policy classes but also in practice classes. Bowen McBeath, PhD, School of Social Work, Portland State University Since the evidence-based practice movement in child welfare is still evolving, this book offers a fresh perspective on the various ways in which evidence can and should be used to guide the way in which child welfare policies, programs, and practices may be conceptualized and implemented using the best available evidence to ultimately improve child welfare outcomes. -- Diane DePanfilis, University of Maryland, Baltimore The book reflects insights developed in multiple child welfare systems, and emphasizes the importance of context, the local conditions, in developing concepts and research in this area. The detailed description of the historical development and current models, along the description of political, economic, and professional aspects, provides an excellent basis for the ensuing complex issues discussed in the book. In summary, through the integration of a review of concepts and dilemmas, the book provides conceptualization based on up-to-date perspectives in developing child welfare services and uses research and practice examples to gradually build an understanding of innovative perspective. --Margalit, M.
