Synopsis

It is only through the development of true partnerships between researchers and clinicians that mental health treatment can achieve an optimal level of success. This highly 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 practicing clinicians and clinicians-in-training.

The guide brings together respected researchers and clinicians to discuss approaches to treating over 60 problem areas for adults, adolescents, and children. It provides concise, easily digestible summaries of the most current evidence-based research regarding interventions for many of the most common clinical disorders and mental health issues encountered in everyday clinical practice. These summaries present research that has been translated by experienced clinicians into practical applications that can be easily incorporated in therapeutic practice.

Research coverage of each problem area includes:

• Brief description
• Incidence/ prevalence data
• Summary findings of best practices for treatment
• Suggestions for research directions
• Key references for further consultation

The corresponding clinical application includes:

• Response to the research summary
• Case example that applies the evidence-based research to clinical practice
• Identification of challenges and cultural considerations in applying these interventions
• Suggestions for future research
• Key references

By presenting the perspectives of the mental health researcher and clinician side by side, this reference facilitates an important dialogue that narrows the gap between research and practice and ultimately fosters better mental health outcomes for clients.
