Rezensionen

'As the title suggests, this up-to-date overview of the field of clinical psychology truly integrates research with practice. But the authors don't just cite the research - they encourage students' critical thinking throughout the book. The attention given to issues of diversity and inclusion in this revised edition is timely and brings the material to life with realistic case examples.' Kari Eddington, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
