Handbook of Implementation Science for Psychology in Education
This book aims to help policy makers, stakeholders, practitioners, and teachers in psychology and education provide more effective interventions in educational contexts. It responds to disappointment and global concern about the failure to implement psychological and other interventions successfully in real-world contexts. Often interventions, carefully designed and trialed under controlled conditions, prove unpredictable or ineffective in uncontrolled, real-life situations. This book looks at why this is the case and pulls together evidence from a range of sources to create original frameworks and guidelines for effective implementation of interventions.
Exploring Concepts of Child Well-being
Policy reforms to children's services are increasingly driven by outcomes that focus on child well-being. Until now, however, this concept has been dimly defined. Seeking a better understanding of what child well-being is and how services can improve it, Nick Axford's pivotal book provides groundbreaking pathways into understanding the true success of child services. After investigating the main approaches to thinking about child well-being, he goes on to apply them to the actual child population by examining household surveys and agency audit data. Finally, he considers the overall implications for children's services, providing a must-read for anyone interested in these critical programs.

Perspectives on Evidence-Based Policy in Human Services
The evidence-based movement is an important force in human services. The highest quality care can be provided to individuals, communities, and society through evidence-based policies and practices. The questions are: “What is evidence-based practice in human services, and how do you do it?” This book addresses these questions through the experience and insights of policy-makers, clinicians, researchers, evaluators, and a consumer. The authors of the various chapters come from diverse disciplines: psychology, sociology, social work, evaluation, and public policy. This book covers such topics as the definition and history of evidence-based policy, the federal role, the role of the states, European perspectives, the development of evidence-based programs, a consumer’s experience, and problems with the evidence-based approach. This book makes an excellent addition to the libraries of policy-makers, researchers, clinicians, community leaders, evaluators, and anyone else who desires insight into this timely and crucial topic.
