Abstract
This chapter illustrates the EBP practice decision-making process in work with the parents of an adult male who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The parents, Newman and Loretta, are experiencing high levels of stress as they watch their son experience more severe symptoms. They are also facing their own challenges associated with aging paired with additional financial concerns due to their son’s mental health needs. Issues of assessment are addressed, and the six steps of the EBP process are each explored in detail.
