Abstract
The first book on implementation of Evidence Based Practices, this book supports the nation-wide effort to improve services for older Americans in response to the expansion of the aging population and the increasing demand for cost-effective geriatric mental health care. It presents the critically needed guidance for behavioral health care providers to successfully implement EBPs and principles in real-world clinical service settings and provides a system approach to successful EBPs.
