Behavioral assessment: A practical handbook (Pergamon general psychology series)

For most new graduate students in clinical psychology the prospect of conducting their own research is bot exciting and anxiety provoking.  But how do you decide what to study?  What are the critical procedures?  How do you analyze the data?  What controls are necessary?  How many subjects do you need?  What is the hypothesis?  How do you get started?  This book is designed to deal with both the excitement and the apprehension of the novice researcher by giving some guidance and tools with which to begin their own research endeavors.

Research methods in clinical psychology (Pergamon general psychology series)

Research Methods In Clinical Psychology

Throughout the last decade, the field of clinical psychology has expanded dramatically. Clinical psychologists are involved in the treatment and research of a wider range of problems and disorders than they have ever been before. Evidence has been rapidly ac cumulating regarding the role of psychological variables and stress in the etiology and maintenance of a range of medical and psychiatric disorders. New models of psy chotherapy have been developed and refined, and the specific efficacy of psychother apeutic interventions for an increasing number of disorders (or sUbtypes of disorders) has been documented. However, concurrent with research that demonstrates the impact of psychosomatic factors in various disorders and the efficacy of psychological or psychosocial interven tions, dramatic progress has been made with regard to the investigation of biological factors that may mediate certain disorders. That physical factors may underlie many in stances of psychiatric illness has been repeatedly demonstrated. Also, the efficacy of so matic treatments for different disorders, or for subtypes of disorders, has been reported with increasing methodological rigor.
