Index.

"The volume is a masterly solution for integrating approaches of clinical, practical work and science, thus showing the way towards a more successful treatment. The textbook in fact reveals to us the science of practice". (European Journal of Mental Health, 2011)

"I am not sure how any UK psychologist could be without one on the shelves." (Metapsychology, September 2010)

'This book is a must-buy for the undergraduate contemplating
a career in clinical psychology, those attempting to apply for
training and those trainees on clinical programmes. It captures the
essence of clinical psychology as it is practised in the UK. It is
organised in a thoughtful and coherent manner that will mean it is
also of interest to both newly qualified and experienced
practitioners. Quite simply there is something in it for everyone
practising clinical psychology.'

Tony Lavender, Canterbury Christchurch University

'Clinical Psychology in Practice brings the
reader the most contemporary information on the practice of
clinical psychology from an evidenced-based approach, focusing on
clinical psychologists' diverse roles in a broad range of
healthcare settings and across a wide range of patient types and
diagnoses. Each student of clinical psychology and each practising
clinical psychologist should have this text in their
library.'
