About Clinician's Guide To Research Methods In Family
Product Description A research methods text with a unique focus on evidence-based practice with couples and families, this book bridges the divide between research and clinical work. The text offers comprehensive, user-friendly coverage of measurement and design issues and basic qualitative and quantitative methods. Illustrating research concepts with clinically relevant examples and sample studies, it teaches clear steps for evaluating different types of studies and identifying common threats to validity. Of special value to therapists, it provides a systematic framework for using research to guide the selection and evaluation of interventions that meet the needs of particular clients. Pedagogical features: *End-of-chapter "Applications" sections showing how to evaluate specific methods. *Appendices with quick-reference guides and recommended resources. *Instructive glossary. See also the authors' Essential Skills in Family Therapy, Third Edition: From the First Interview to Termination, which addresses all aspects of real-world clinical practice, and Essential Assessment Skills for Couple and Family Therapists, which shows how to weave assessment into all phases of therapy. Review "Williams, Patterson, and Edwards have created a resource where none existed before--an accessible book about research for practitioners and students working with couples and families. The first part of the book provides a wonderfully succinct primer on research methods; the second part treads previously unexplored territory by offering an entrée into evidence-based practice. The volume guides readers to the essential information they need about research: what it is, how to find and appraise it, how best to incorporate evidence-based methods into practice, and how to evaluate clients' progress. This book should become the core research methods text for master's-level programs in marital and family therapy, counseling, and psychology."--Jay L. Lebow, PhD, ABPP, LMFT, Senior Scholar and Clinical Professor, The Family Institute at Northwestern University "Ideally suited for students and therapists invested in learning more about the research process in order to be optimally effective clinicians. This reader-friendly text, written by leaders in the marital and family therapy field, brings research to life in a way that is engaging, comprehensible, and clinically applicable. By mastering effective strategies for integrating state-of-the-art research into practice, clinicians at all stages of development will find their psychotherapeutic endeavors and outcomes enhanced enormously."--Nadine J. Kaslow, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry, Emory University; past president, American Psychological Association "A helpful and useful set of appendices are provided, in particular the Pocket Guide. I found the glossary especially helpful….By providing the information in a clear, logical, and methodical way the authors have opened a door for seasoned as well as new clinicians to apply evidence-based practice.” ― Child and Family Behavior Therapy Published On: 2017-01-18 "A user-friendly text that is ideal for MFT master’s students. The writing is clear, organized, and approachable with as many examples as there are key terms. Most importantly, this book does not teach students how to conduct research; rather, it teaches them how to critically consume it….This book is expressly written and best used for a master’s level MFT research methods course. However, any clinician with an interest in connecting research to their practice could benefit directly from the text. My own students agree that this book is straightforward, informative, and directly applicable to their work as MFTs. Finding this book has restored much of the original joy I experienced at the opportunity to teach research methods.” ― Journal of Marital and Family Therapy Published On: 2016-04-01 “This book is already becoming a classic on research methods for marriage and
