Translating Psychological Research into Practice

Translating Psychological Research into Practice is an edited book published by Springer Books in late 2013. We believe it epitomizes the spirit of the Delaware Project, attempting to increase dialogue by clinicians and researchers with the goal of improving clinical practice. The chapters presented focus on 65 different clinical problem areas that clinicians frequently encounter in their professional practice.  The first part of each chapter is written by an academic summarizing the evidence-based research in the area. The second part of the chapter is written by a clinician who discusses what it is like to apply evidence-based research in their work, including the presentation of a case example.

The research section focuses on the definition and epidemiology of the clinical problem, a summary of the evidence-based research, cultural diversity issues, and recommendations for future research. The clinical application focuses on a reaction to the research section, the presentation of a clinical case applying evidence-based research, cultural diversity issues, and recommendations for future research needed to improve clinical practice. Both the researchers and the clinicians present Key References for the reader.to explore the clinical area further.

The Foreword was written by David Barlow and the book has received endorsements from Nadine Kaslow, former president of the American Psychological Association, and J. Gayle Beck, Editor of Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice.
