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 suitable for learning specific empirically supported treatments. 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 the Clinician’s Guide to Evidence-Based Practice series,  which has all of these characteristics and more.

This timely book provides detailed, easy to follow procedures for the treatment of traumatized adults and children, based on a solid foundation of empirically based practice. Treatment of Traumatized Adults and Children, as well as others in the Clinician’s Guide to Evidence-Based Practice series, is a must read for clinicians who incorporate notions of evidence-based practice in their work.

Rubin and Springer have assembled the practice wisdom of leading practitioners of evidence-based practice interventions, enhancing the likelihood that these practices will be adopted by helping professionals.  Each chapter introduces readers to principles which undergird a specific intervention and detailed descriptions of assessment criteria, flow of treatment, and procedural steps.  Written in the language of practitioners, this book represents an exemplar for dissemination of evidence-based practice information.
