title: Real-world use of evidence-based treatments in community behavioral health care.
abstract: It is one thing to tout "best practices" and another thing to actually employ them. The author of this month's column provides us with a "fly on the wall" view of the experience of one community mental health center in implementing evidence-based treatments for mental illnesses. If you have ever sat in a meeting at which you are supposed to be generating a best-practice approach and all you are hearing is a discussion of procedures rather than outcomes measurement, this column will be of interest.
