   Recognition for the prior edition

   “A remarkable and essential guide. Its approach to evidence-based practice (EBP) is very solid, practical, and accommodating to the complexities of everyday practice. Reading and utilizing this guide is a necessity.”
   —Haluk Soydan, PhD, School of Social Service, University of Southern California

   “This guide has the potential to revolutionize practice in the helping professions. Rather than focusing on the how-to of conducting research, Practitioner’s Guide to Utilizing Research for Evidence-Based Practice instead demonstrates to readers how to comprehend the literature…. [The] generous use of humor and the inclusion of straightforward, practice-related examples make this guide a delight to read.”
   —Aron Shlonsky, PhD, School of Social Service, University of Toronto

   “I greatly appreciate the integration of research methodologies and EBP; this is the guide’s primary breakthrough in my opinion as it enables readers to see the correlations between research and practice. [The book] also excels by simplifying very complex EBP concepts and explaining them in practical terms.”
   —Jeffrey M. Jenson, PhD, Postgraduate School of Social Service, University of Denver

   Practical advice for research-informed practice and practice-informed research
