  • 소개/요약In today's mental health care, the ethical practice of psychotherapy must be informed by the best research available. Skillful practice involves finding the right way to bring research to bear on the clinical questions in focus in psychotherapy. But, if there is, increasingly, general agreement that research should have a role in informing clinical practice, how to present research in a way that engages and helps inform practice? This book is the culmination of the author's efforts over the last decade to wrestle with this problem. The goal of this volume is to have the clinician or clinician-in-training reader engage with research and participate in a process of digesting it. Hopefully, this will not merely be about accepting findings as static "truths" applicable to practice, but raising questions about the research and findings, engaging in debate about the issues, and becoming an informed consumer of this information. Although it is certainly an intention of this volume to communicate the state of research about several key issues relevant to psychotherapy, the more important meta-level goal is to help clinician readers become skilled consumers of research. This is not a comprehensive volume aimed at summarizing all the research that is relevant to psychotherapy, but one aimed to provide a view of some of the most interesting and clinically significant research and research controversies. I hope this volume can help its readers develop an open and informed view toward research, so that they can best learn from the findings available and those yet to come. This book begins with an introductory section, Psychotherapy and Psychotherapy Research, that orients the reader to the relationship between research and clinical practice and provides some guidelines for how to look at research. That's followed by sections describing research focused on psychotherapy, research focused on or relevant to couple and family therapy, incorporating research methods into one's own practice, and research in psychology that informs the practice of psychotherapy.
