Title: Understanding research in clinical and counseling psychology
Description: "Understanding Research in Clinical and Counseling Psychology is a unique text because it is designed and written for those graduate students aspiring to careers in practice rather than in psychological science who are the vast majority in clinical and counseling programs. To motivate readers to see the value of knowledge produced by research, the book opens with an actual case report that shows how research-generated strategies incorporated into treatment can be extremely effective."

"Throughout the book, the authors, all capable researchers who are also experienced practitioners, demonstrate the ways in which research is an essential foundation for effective and ethical practice. Descriptions of alternatives to conventional significance testing such as "clinical significance" and "reliable change analyses" help students consider new ways in which they can impose rigor on their own research and practice activities. Students and instructors alike will welcome this reader-friendly book."--Jacket.
