Description
Springer Translating Psychological Research Into Practice 2013 Edition by Lisa R. Grossman, Steven Walfish
This accessible desk reference will assist clinicians in easily incorporating findings from current evidence-based research into their day-to-day practice. It bridges the gap between empirical research and the needs of practising clinicians or clinicians-in-training, who often don't have the time or background to consult the extensive research literature. The guide provides concise, easily digestible summaries of the most current research regarding interventions-both psychotherapeutic and medical -- for over 80 of the most common clinical disorders and mental health issues. These summaries present research that has been translated by experienced clinicians into practical advice that can be easily incorporated in therapeutic practice.For each disorder there is information that includes a brief description, incidence/ prevalence data, summary findings of best practices for treating this clinical problem (including problems for which evidence does not point to the effectiveness of a specific practice), and three important references for further consultation. Key Features: Covers over 80 of the most frequently-encountered disorders and issues that mental health clinicians face today Summarises the current research on treatments, explaining what has - and hasn't - proven to be effective Interprets research for clinicians, offering practice wisdom that helps them become more effective evidence-based practitioners Edited by recognised leaders in the psychology practice community Table of contents : - Overview: Translating Research Into PracticeSection I: CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTSTopic Potential AuthorAdolescent and Child Suicide David JobesAnxiety Disorders in Children Phillip KendallAnger Management in Children and Adolescents Eva FeindlerAsperger's Syndrome Warren TyronAutism Spectrum Disorders TBDAttachment Disorder R.
