The benefits of incorporating evidence-based interventions (EBI) in mental health settings are well documented. However, many mental health settings continue not to adopt or implement evidence-based interventions despite the benefits EBIs offer providers. This formula creates a gap between research and practice, which needs to be addressed. Evidence-based practice and interventions are defined, and facilitating factors are described in detail and is followed by a clinical case example to provide further insight. Implications for social work education, research, and practice are also discussed. The chasm between research and practice, will begin to close as practitioners’ concerns are addressed through education.

Practice Method

Case management is an important social work practice method in mental health settings. However, there have been very few systematic statewide studies of case management roles and functions. As a result, educators have not had research-based models of what case managers do for use in social work classes. This article presents a curriculum model for teaching empirically-defined mental health case management to undergraduate students using an exemplary National Institute of Mental Health funded statewide study of mental health case management. The model presents strategies for using this content in both BSW research methods courses and practice courses. Suggested primary sources for additional reading about case management are also provided.

Psychiatric Social Work

Psychiatric Social Work teaching has completed seven decades in India which was started with master course in medical and psychiatric social work at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai in 1948 followed by various schools of social work across the country but unfortunately even after two year full time or part time course they are not counted as a mental health professional; still they need two more years of specialized training in mental health as Master of Philosophy in Psychiatric Social Work (M.Phil. PSW) which was offered in just a few institutions. Recently the Government of India formulated manpower development schemes under the national mental health programme to address the shortage of men power in mental health. Under this scheme, 25 centre of excellence in mental health are already stabilised and various post graduate departments were upgraded and M.Phil. PSW course is started or will be started. This figure is in raise in Government intuitions and few private institutions also. The prominence of social work in mental health is expected to enhance by this effort as highly trained social workers will be available to practice in the mental health field but there are some challenges to overcome to get the maximum outcome from this opportunity to expand.    Keywords:Psychiatric social work, mental health, men power development, India  Â
