Reviews
". . . an excellent primer. The publishing of this book could not have come at a better time. As intended, this guidebook serves as a fairly comprehensive 'how-to' manual of EBPs. The book includes a wealth of information about EBPs for both neophytes and experienced therapists." --PsycCritiques
"The ability to critically review the research is essential for optimizing
patient care. This book provides a good introduction to this process and
maintains a level of sophistication that is both helpful and reasonable for
students, paraprofessionals, and other non-research-based disciplines.
Individuals with a strong research background (e.g., PhDs) will not miss
anything by leaving this book on the shelf."--Doody's Health Sciences Review
"This book, written by leaders in our field, articulates and synthesizes EBP in a manner that is very accessible to the practicing clinician. For those clinicians in particular who have doubts about the whole concept, this book will be extremely valuable in forging a path to EBP that will be compatible with the vicissitudes of practice. Nothing else like it exists."
