Randomized Controlled Trials
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been the gold standard for health and social service research for generations of professionals. However, even with the development of methods to accommodate a large number of professional perspectives and fields of intervention, there is still no comprehensive resource for learning how to deal with the complex nature of RCTs conducted in community settings. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive experience conducting randomized controlled trials to compile a practical and accessible guide to RCTs in community-based practice settings.
Helping Families Cope With Mental Illness
In this age of spiraling health care costs, it is imperative that the family's role in treating patients with chronic mental illness not be overlooked - by policy makers and clinicians alike.

Helping Families Cope with Mental Illness is a comprehensive guide to the family's experience of chronic and serious mental illness for clinicians and educators in a wide range of mental health disciplines. It details all major areas of the clinician-family relationship - consumer perspectives, cultural diversity, social policy, ethical issues, practical coping strategies, research and training issues, major service issues, managed care, and cost-saving measures.
