ACA Practice Briefs

Research-Based Summaries of Best Practices

Practice Briefs are short, peer-reviewed articles on a wide variety of client-presenting issues and counseling topics. Originally developed by the Practice Brief Advisory Board and written by experts in the field, the Briefs present research-based summaries of best practices, evidence-based practices and research-based approaches. Each Practice Brief is several pages in length, includes references, and has been peer-reviewed by two co-editors before being accepted for publication. They can serve as quick go-to guides for the clinician needing to brush up on an old idea or gather new information.
