This is the book for you if you want an excellent and readable guide that will support you in making sense of research in the context of Psychotherapy in general and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapies in particular. It also enables the reader to understand how to undertake the process of carrying out and disseminating their own research in psychological interventions. The skillful blend of central principles with illustrative examples provides clarity without oversimplification. The author has carefully crafted the narrative and presentation of material to ensure that it is practical and relevant whilst building to an accurate and sophisticated understanding of clinically applicable research. This is achieved through a crystal clear explanation of the fundamental principles of the entire range of research and how these can be applied to improve CBT practice and therefore to benefit those seeking help. -- Paul Salkovskis
