Description:

Understanding Research in Clinical and Counseling Psychology is designed and written for graduate students aspiring to careers in practice rather than in psychological science who are the vast majority in clinical and counseling programs.

This book helps students who need to know the principles underlying research and how to apply research findings to their practices.
