Read this book as part of an MSW class. It offers exactly what the title says. It's a really easy to use and detailed book on EBP, and I definitely utilized the information within for my class. I obviously didn't love my entire reading experience because it was for a class, but I would absolutely recommend this as a starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about EBP. For a textbook - this is super easy to read and the information is very easily applied to practice. I'm definitely keeping my copy to refer back to as needed.
