"This book is truly weighty in size and content...it provides excellent comprehensive overview chapters of every aspect of clinical psychological research and implications for practice." Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry"Roberts and Ilardi and their authors have done a marvelous job presenting a cutting-edge array of methods and applications in clinical psychology research. This publication captures the vigor and excitement present in the field today. The text is practical, broad in scope, yet with sufficient depth to guide practicing clinical researchers. It should be used in graduate education and will also prove helpful to seasoned investigators." John Curry, Duke University "Roberts and Ilardi have created an impressive, comprehensive, and cutting-edge handbook of research methods and data-analytic procedures. This volume will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students alike. All aspects of the research process are represented. The individual chapters are excellent - very understandable and clear, with many practical examples provided." Annette M. La Greca, University of Miami "Focusing on new developments and cutting-edge advances in research methods, this handbook should have a wide audience. Summing up: Recommended." S. M. Valente, University of Southern California, Choice, December 2003
