"Meeting the growing demand for resources on evidence-based practice, this acclaimed work has now been fully revised and expanded with the latest treatment data. Like its predecessor, the second edition provides a systematic and balanced evaluation of the current status of all major psychotherapeutic approaches. The authors emphasize the crucial importance of both empirical considerations and clinical judgment as they demonstrate how research evidence can be used to improve the structure and planning of services for specific patient groups. Enhancing the utility of this comprehensive volume are its clear organization and accessible style, making it an essential tool for readers across the mental health disciplines." "Attuned to the complexities of real-world clinical situations, this authoritative volume belongs on the desks of practitioners, researchers, and students in clinical and counseling psychology, psychiatry, and social work, as well as health care administrators and planners. In the classroom, it serves as a uniquely informative text in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in psychotherapy research and clinical practice."--BOOK JACKET.
