Evidence Based School Psychiatry

This book addresses and reviews progress in a major innovative development within police work known as evidence-based policing. It involves a significant extension and strengthening of links between research and practice and is directed to the task of increasing police effectiveness in the field of community crime prevention.

This handbook provides a comprehensive overview to implementing effective evidence-based mental health promotion in schools. It addresses issues surrounding the increasing demands on school psychologists and educational and mental health professionals to support and provide improved student well-being, learning, and academic outcomes. The volume explores factors outside the traditional framework of learning that are important in maximizing educational outcomes as well as how students learn to cope with emotional challenges that confront them both during their school years and across the lifespan. Chapters offer robust examples of successful programs and interventions, addressing a range of student issues, including depression, self-harm, social anxiety, high-achiever anxiety, and hidden distress. In addition, chapters explore ways in which mental health and education professionals can implement evidence-informed programs, from the testing and experimental stages to actual use within schools and classrooms.

This book examines state-of-the-science telemental health interventions for children and families. It explores the adaptations necessary to provide remote formats of evidence-based models, such as parent-child interaction therapy and trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy. Chapters provide clear descriptions of how to implement interventions in a telemental health format, a review and critique of the empirical evidence supporting them, and useful case studies. The volume addresses the use of telemental health care within parenting interventions, individual child interventions, and family interventions, with particular attention paid to the evidence base of efficacy for families from marginalized and underserved communities.
