The audit and evaluation of therapy is an essential step in this improvement, but the demands of ongoing clinical practice are difficult to reconcile with those of traditional scientific evaluation. This book is meant to help the busy practitioner, and student in training, to evaluate their approach or treatment formulation, as well as their process of treatment, and key outcomes. The authors provide detailed guidelines on how to record diagnostic and treatment data from single-case work and how to analyse that data, including the use of computer processing. The focus on single-case study evaluation reflects the reality of clinical work for the individual practitioner; it helps to relate to the needs of individual patients, and helps therapists to make explicit the working theory of treatment which guides their planning of therapy.  \u003cp\u003eThis book offers a theory-based framework to controlled practice, a collaborative approach which involves therapists and patients as partners in a continuous optimization of psychotherapy.

Such approaches are now increasingly recognised as valid scientific tools, within research and evidence-based practice. This book helps to bridge the gap between the demands of scientists and practitioners.\" - Michael Bruch, Director of Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy Unit, University College London, UK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988934443237,"sku":"NP9780471491569","price":175.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471491569.jpg?v=1761782114","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/clinical-psychology-and-single-case-evidence-isbn-9780471491569","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
