<p><b>Praise for the Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Series</b> <p>"<i>A major stumbling block to the 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.</i>"<br> <b>—Edward J. Mullen, Willma and Albert Musher Chair Professor, Columbia University</b> <p><b>State-of-the-art, empirical support for psychosocial treatment of schizophrenia</b> <p>Part of the Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Series, <i>Psychosocial Treatment of Schizophrenia</i><b></b> provides busy mental health practitioners with detailed, step-by-step guidance for implementing clinical interventions that are supported by the latest scientific evidence. <p>This thorough, yet practical, reference draws on a roster of experts and researchers in the field who have assembled state-of-the-art knowledge into this well-rounded guide. Each chapter serves as a practitioner-focused how-to reference and covers interventions that have the best empirical support for the psychosocial treatment of<b></b> schizophrenia, including: <ul> <li>Cognitive behavioral therapy</li> <li>Assertive community treatment</li> <li>Critical time intervention</li> <li>Motivational interviewing for medication adherence</li> <li>Psychoeducational family groups</li> <li>Illness management and recovery</li> </ul> <p>Easy-to-use and accessible in tone, <i>Psychosocial Treatment of Schizophrenia</i> is an indispensable resource for practitioners who would like to implement evidence-based, compassionate, effective interventions in the care of people with schizophrenia.
