A Word about Evidence-Based Practice

Readers with clinical knowledge will no doubt recognize the incorporation into this workbook of some, if not all, of the evidence-based practices used to treat serious mental illness. The workbook utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Illness Awareness and Management (IAM). In addition, as I facilitated groups over the years, I employed behavioral therapy principles, especially positive reinforcement and behavioral shaping. I would welcome a study that compares outcomes for groups using this workbook and outcomes for standard group therapy.
