Advances in Psychotherapy — Evidence-Based Practice

Book series developed and edited with the support of the Society of Clinical Psychology (APA Division 12)

The Series

The series Advances in Psychotherapy ‒ Evidence-Based Practice provides practical evidence-based guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of the most common disorders seen in clinical practice − and does so in a uniquely reader-friendly manner. A new strand is dealing with methods and approaches rather than specific disorders. Each book is both a compact how-to reference for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, as well as an ideal educational resource for students and for practice-oriented continuing education. To date, 43 volumes plus 4 new editions have been published.
