Quatrième de couverture:

Praise for Practitioner′s Guide to Using Research for Evidence–Based Practice

"An extraordinary and important book. Its approach to evidence–based practice is very sound, realistic, and generous to the complexities of everyday practice. It provides an excellent practitioner′s desk book to those who want to implement evidence–based practice. Reading and using this book is a must."
Haluk Soydan, PhD, University of Southern California, School of Social Work

"This book is informative to old–timers like me, and I would imagine to those new to the research enterprise and evidence–based practice. Allen Rubin has done it again! Another fine contribution to research and the advancement of evidence–based practice."
Kevin Corcoran, PhD, JD, Portland State University, School of Social Work

"This book has the potential to change practice in the helping professions. Rather than focusing on how to conduct research, Practitioner′s Guide to Using Research for Evidence–Based Practice instead shows readers how to understand the literature....In particular, Rubin′s generous use of humor and the inclusion of simple, practice–relevant examples make this book a pleasure to read."
Aron Shlonsky, PhD, University of Toronto, Faculty of Social Work

"I particularly like the integration of research methods and EBP; this is the book′s major innovation in my mind as it allows readers to see the connections between research and practice. Rubin also succeeds by taking very complex EBP principles and explaining them in practical terms."
Jeffrey M. Jenson, PhD, University of Denver, Graduate School of Social Work
