This highly practical book will guide students through the different levels of research within CBT by addressing the general principles of grappling with evidence and understanding statistics. It also highlights how to critically engage with, interpret and evaluate research so that it can be used to shape practice. This important book will help readers see the relevance of research in their working lives and empower them to become active and keen researchers.
This is the book for you if you want an excellent and readable guide that will support you in making sense of research in the context of Psychotherapy in general and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapies in particular. It also enables the reader to understand how to undertake the process of carrying out and disseminating their own research in psychological interventions. The skillful blend of central principles with illustrative examples provides clarity without oversimplification. The author has carefully crafted the narrative and presentation of material to ensure that it is practical and relevant whilst building to an accurate and sophisticated understanding of clinically applicable research. This is achieved through a crystal clear explanation of the fundamental principles of the entire range of research and how these can be applied to improve CBT practice and therefore to benefit those seeking help.
a great basic introduction to research concepts, which scaffolds those without prior training in research to understand concepts and the context of research. The book does not go into much depth on methods, but serves as a very useful macro-guide to the research process.
Excellent book, with very good examples in justifying the role of research in clinical settings and to provide supporting evidence for treatments development&implementation.
Very concise and clear way of explaining the principles of the research process.
An ideal book to access, information is clearly relatable and understanding. Give the reader a deeper understanding.
