Book description
Praise for Treatment of Traumatized Adults and Children
"A major stumbling block to adoption of evidence-based practice
in the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of
clinician-friendly guides. Such guides need to be understandable, free
of technical research jargon, infused with clinical expertise, and
rich with real-life examples. Rubin and Springer have hit a home run
with this series, which has all of these characteristics and
more."
-Edward J. Mullen, Willma & Albert
Musher Chair and Professor, Columbia University
"Rubin and Springer have assembled the wisdom of leading
practitioners of evidence-based practice interventions, enhancing the
likelihood that these practices will be adopted by helping
professionals. Written in the language of practitioners, this book
represents an exemplar for dissemination of evidence-based practice
information."
