Abstract
This chapter illustrates how the EBP practice decision-making process is undertaken in work with Jennifer, a 23-year-old homeless white woman who has a history of loss and trauma and who fits criteria for a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. Issues of aggression and concerns about abandonment and loss are notable. Issues of assessment are addressed and the six steps of the EBP process are each explored in detail. How EBP is done in practice is examined fully as it applies to the specifics of Jennifer’s needs and strengths.
