“An extraordinary and important book. Its approach to evidence-based practice (EBP) is very sound, realistic, and generous to the complexities of everyday practice. Reading and using this book is a must.”
—Haluk Soydan, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Southern California

“This book has the potential to change practice in the helping professions. Rather than focusing on how to conduct research, Practitioner’s Guide to Using Research for Evidence-Based Practice instead shows readers how to understand the literature…. [The] generous use of humor and the inclusion of simple, practice-relevant examples make this book a pleasure to read.”
—Aron Shlonsky, PhD, Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto

“I particularly like the integration of research methods and EBP; this is the book’s major innovation in my mind as it allows readers to see the connections between research and practice. [The book] also succeeds by taking very complex EBP principles and explaining them in practical terms.”
