Practice-Based Research

Practice-Based Research shows mental-health practitioners how to establish viable and productive research programs in routine clinical settings. Chapters written by experts in practice-based research use real-world examples to help clinicians work through some of the most common barriers to research output in these settings, including lack of access to institutional review boards, lack of organizational support, and limited access to financial resources. Specialized chapters also provide information on research methods and step-by-step suggestions tailored to a variety of practice settings. This is an essential volume for clinicians interested in establishing successful, long-lasting practice-based research programs.

R. Trent Codd, III, EdS, is the president and founder of the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Center of Western North Carolina, P.A., where he provides clinical services and conducts practice-based research.
