Summary:
We now know that people can and do recover from mental illness, and we know more and more about what treatment approaches work. An evidence-based practice has four key components: it must be a standardized treatment with guidelines or manuals; it must have been studied using a controlled research design; the research studies must have employed a variety of research teams; and, the outcomes must matter to the recipient of the care. Selection of an evidence-based practice must take into account not only the treatment, but the characteristics of the person and the desired effect. While evidence-based practices are proven, many good practices are still viable and should not be abandoned. In this presentation, Dr. Selleck discusses how a practice becomes evidence-based, what some examples of evidence-based practices are in the mental health field, and the ongoing evolution of mental health care.
Program Presenter:
Virginia Selleck, PhD is the Clinical Director for the Division of Comprehenisive Psychiatric Services for the Missouri Department of Mental Health. Prior to that, she spent fifteen years in Minnesota as the Supervisor of Adult Mental Health Services with the Mental Health Division’s Department of Human Services. That followed eighteen years in Chicago, at a psychiatric rehabilitation center called Threshholds, and time as a mental health counselor in rural Illinois.
