Assessment and Treatment Activities for Children, Adolescents, and Families: Practitioners Share Their Most ...6 reviews
Liana Lowenstein
Champion Press, 2008
Great resource
I got three of these books by Liana Lowenstein and I find them very valuable in my therapy work with children and adolescents. I am a beginning therapist so I still rely heavily on resources like this to get the creative juices flowing. The only thing that is missing from this book, but present in the others, is a list in front that tells what the intervention is suitable for, suggested age ...

Relevant and non-dogmatic
Brain Based Therapy with Adults
By John B. Arden and Lloyd Linford
Book Review
By Thomas Cohen, D.M.H.
Speaking as a Clinical Psychologist who has been practicing and teaching over 35 years, it is rare to find a book that conveys this much relevance, usefulness and non-dogmatic instruction.
Why would anyone want to read yet another textbook on psychotherapy? Because this book combines not ...

Evidence-Based Practice Manual: Research and Outcome Measures in Health and Human Services5 reviews
Albert R. Roberts, Kenneth R. Yeager
Oxford University Press, USA, 2004
Responding to the challenge of social work
The Evidence-Based Practice Manual (Roberts & Yeager, 2004) provides an invaluable resource for social workers who want to be on top of their game. Of the many challenges I face as a social worker, two of the most daunting are: 1) Sorting through the plethora of literature to find the most salient practice wisdom, and 2) applying the findings in evidenced-based practice in my work with clients. ...

Efficiency in Learning: Evidence-Based Guidelines to Manage Cognitive Load6 reviews
Ruth C. Clark, Frank Nguyen, ...
Pfeiffer, 2005
Efficiency in Learning: Efficiency in Design
I've been a big fan of Ruth Clark since I attended one of her workshops in 2002, and especially since buying her book, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction, in 2004. There are at least a few reasons. One, Ruth's guidance for instructional designers is based in research - not fad and not personal belief. Two, she bridges the gap between educational research and training for adults. Three, ...

Evidence Based Physical Diagnosis: Pocketconsult Handheld Software6 reviews
Steven Mcgee
Saunders, 2007
How to make yourself look smart
Many good physical exam books exist, but this is the only one that really tells you what PE finding mean. It includes great tables that lists findings of particular diseases and gives the sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratios. Other books will tell you that sign X is associated with disease Y, but no others tell you that if you see X that there is a high probability that the patient has ...

Evidence-Based Physical Diagnosis: Text with BONUS PocketConsult Handheld Software5 reviews
Steven McGee
Saunders, 2007
This is a real gem of a book.
I already own a number of physical assessment books so I was resisting buying this one until I went to my hospital library and picked the first edition off the shelf. Half hour later I decided to buy the second edition through Amazon. I wouldn't recommend it as a first level physical assessment book, but once you've learned general physical assessment skills this is a great book to own if ...

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult Asperger Syndrome (Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment)5 reviews
Valerie L. Gaus PhD
The Guilford Press, 2007
Are you an Aspie?
I find it hard to believe there is only one review for this book! I am an undiagnosed Aspie and I found this book to be beyond belief. OK, I haven't read the whole book and I've started about 5 others on AS. I guess it comes with the territory.
What I am saying is that if you're an Aspie and you want to see how your mind works, in words, right before your eyes then take a look at just ...

Evidence Based Coaching Handbook: Putting Best Practices to Work for Your Clients4 reviews
Wiley, 2006
Academic Review
Notwithstanding the marketeering/hype that the book presents "scientifically proven" information, this "evidence-based" approach is on-target. In one source text the academic community now has a clearly presented body of knowledge from which we can trace how theory and practice can be linked. We also have a first opportunity to offer graduate programs or other disciplines where coaching is ...

Practitioner's Guide to Evidence-Based Psychotherapy3 reviews
Springer US, 2009
a welcome chunk of terra firma
I want to try to overwrite a misguided one-star review that appears to be a mistake but is logged in here anyhow and makes this look at a glance like a crummy book. This book is quite good. It is encyclopedic, and both well written and well edited, even well bound. The authors snipe at what they call "psychoreligions", meaning psychotherapy based on tradition, optimism, convenience, or ...

Nutrition in Clinical Practice: A Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Manual for the Practitioner3 reviews
David L. Katz
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000
Nutrition in Clinical Practice
A very thorough and thoughtful discussion of nutrition that is ideally suited to the needs of the primary care provider. The CLINICAL HIGHLIGHTS feature at the end of each chapter is especially useful, but the final section, PRINCIPLES OF DIETARY COUNSELING, is worth getting the book for all by itself. Knowing about healthful nutrition is the easy part - getting our patients to adopt healthful ...

David S Smith
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
I cannot stress enough how excellent this book is!
I am a 3rd year medical student and this book has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. Like most books of its kind, each chapter is based on a single symptom followed by a list of the most common diseases or processes that cause the symptom. However, the difference is that for each of the items in the differential the author gives a VERY BRIEF description of THE MOST pertinent ...
