Book Series: Advances in Psychotherapy — Evidence-Based Practice
Practical, evidence-based guides for everyday practice

- Comprehensive coverage of real-life practice needs
- Tables, boxed clinical pearls, and marginal notes for quick orientation
- Checklists and summary boxes that can be copied and used in daily work
The series is developed and edited with the support of the Society of Clinical Psychology (APA Division 12).
