A major stumbling block to adoption of evidence-based practice in
the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of
clinician-friendly guides suitable for learning specific
empirically supported treatments. Such guides need to be
understandable, free of technical research jargon, infused with
clinical expertise, and rich with real-life examples. Rubin and
Springer have hit a home-run with the Clinician's Guide to
Evidence-Based Practice series, which has all of these
characteristics and more.

and Professor, Columbia University

This timely book provides detailed, easy to follow procedures
for the treatment of traumatized adults and children, based on a
solid foundation of empirically based practice. Treatment of
Traumatized Adults and Children, as well as others in the
Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice series,
is a must read for clinicians who incorporate notions of
evidence-based practice in their work.

--Tony Tripodi, DSW, Professor Emeritus, Ohio State
University

Rubin and Springer have assembled the practice wisdom of leading
practitioners of evidence-based practice interventions, enhancing
the likelihood that these practices will be adopted by helping
professionals. Each chapter introduces readers to principles which
undergird a specific intervention and detailed descriptions of
assessment criteria, flow of treatment, and procedural steps.
Written in the language of practitioners, this book represents an
exemplar for dissemination of evidence-based practice
information.

--Joanne Yaffe, PhD, ACSW, Associate
Professor, University of Utah College of Social Work

In their new book, Rubin and Springer and their contributors
boil down more than 20 years of published research and practice to
provide the busy practitioner with practical guidance in helping
the traumatized. It is an indispensable guide to responsibly
bringing relief to those who seek it.
