Practitioners Books

I have found Sproull's book to be of great help in understanding and following the steps in the research process. I use it as a reference against other manuals of the social science research nature. I recommend this book to everyone who does reseach, of any nature, or who is studying the research process.

A classic guide to research, which I've found useful for both work and graduate school. For those of us who like our information neatly and logically ordered in tables and flow-charts, this book entirely fits the bill. Comprehensive and, given the subject matter, quite accessible.

This is the best book out there for both medical and legal professionals. It is easy to read and and a great resource for all law and medical issues.

Liang's book is the first comprehensive AND comprehensible book on the health care system out there! As a physician who went to medical school decades ago, i never realized how much would change in the practice environment. No one has been able to give a thorough review of all the topics that we need to know now; not my specialty society, certainly not the AMA, and not my state med society. But this book does; it has everything from a great overview of the law, the standard stuff (e.g., med mal, informed consent) AND gives clear and complete explanations of the huge and legalese laden areas of fraud and abuse, antitrust, etc. I found the material on physician contracting really helpful in understanding what I should look for in my contracts. And the stuff on death and dying (e.g., advanced directives) was very helpful for my patients (I copied it for them). I heard of this book from the general counsel's office at our hospital and she uses it a lot too. I tell all the med students and residents who rotate with me about this book. And the web page addresses are really great!

This is a note from the Author. I am very sorry that this book seems to be out of stock. You can go to www.trafford.com/robots/04-2505.html and order the book from there as well. or You are welcome to e-mail me at bovna_rpa1@verizon.net
Again I am sorry about the un availability of the book on this site at this time. We didn't anticipate such a huge demand.
Thanks for your continued support,

This book is a very wise investment for anyone seeking knowledge about RPA/RA programs. It takes you from the start of the programs, walks you through the decision process in choosing the correct program for you, as well as walking you through the first semesters of schooling. The most helpful part of all was being able to be walked through the proposals; knowing what exactly the hospital, radiologist and the universities are looking for. As for anyone looking into this field, this is the best book to help answer all those questions. Very, very wise investment!

This book was an invaluable tool to passing the CSDP exam. Anyone thinking of taking the exam should pick it up. It will expose you to new concepts and prepare you for the mindset required to pass the IEEE exam.

Pros: contains answers to the sample questions on the IEEE website

Cons: sometimes the answers are visible while reading the question (on the corresponding page, rather than hidden away from view)

Don't take the CSDP without it. I bought the IEEE online course and was not prepared. This book makes it a breeze.

I love this book! It was recommended to me by a professor and I now find myself recommending it to everyone I know that works with the dually-diagnosed or just Mental Health, or just the AODA population. The chapters offer background information as well as the different theories that are and were used with this population and why the intergraded treatment is the best and most successful treatment modality. The appendix is the best part, it offers hand-outs (which are easy to understand and are loved by clients and family members) on various mental health and addiction issues and treatment plans. I have about 10 other books on dual diagnosis and feel that this book is the only one that I can apply to my practice!

This is THE source for practice strategies for the evidence based practice of integrated dual diagnosis treatment!

This book is a must with anyone who works with people of various cultures. I would also suggest this to be a handbook for Police Departments, Social workers, Health care professionals, mental health professionals and educational facilities etc. This book needs to be in anyones library who is concerned about culture, ethics and diversity issues.

This is an excellent book for anyone who conducts cross cultural interviews. It is beautifully written and laid out so that content can be found easily. The information and case studies will certainly increase one's attunement to cultural variations that take many forms, and facilitate the capacity to respond productively to numerous situations that might not be anticipated otherwise. Students who are practicing interviewing in class or in the field will find this book essential reading. I now know how ignorant I was before I read it.

Dr. Mart has written a brief, but very good, overview of the process of conducting a forensic assessment for child custody. He covers virtually all of the relevant issues, enabling the reader to have an excellent conception of the issues involved and the means of addressing those issues. This book is an excellent introduction to child custody evaluations for a mental health professional contemplating doing such evaluations.

Andrew W. Kane, Ph.D.

With numerous scholarly references but fewer than 100 pages, Dr. Mart outlines the movement toward more focused custody assessments, and provides a step-by-step evidence-based guide for how to conduct them. This is possibly the best little book on child custody assessment that currently exists.Issue Focused Forensic Child Custody Assessment (Practitioner's Resource Series)

Zuther's "Lymphedema Management" certainly is the most comprehensive guide for practioners! The book covers all aspects of lymphedema management in a clear, concise and logical fashion. I would highly recommend this book to practioners and patients alike. I believe that anyone involved in the treatment of Lymphedema should have this book as a valuable reference. Zuther leaves no questions unanswered and his knowledge, experience and expertise is evident in both the content and presentation of the extensive information. 5 Stars!!

This book is terrific! I have primary lymphedema and have lived with this for 28 years. I would love to put this book into the hands of the many doc's that shook their head and told me that lymphedema is something I would just have to "Learn to live with". I spent many hours and years researching this condition and want to express my sincere thanks to ACOLS and the many other professionals that help people with lymphedma. This text book is easy to read and written in terms that are easy to understand. I give it 5 stars.

If you are doing analysis of a sporting movement, in your Biomechanics and Kinesiology Module.Then i recommend this book as invaluable.It is simple english and informative.

If you are into serious sports activities like couching or thinking of becoming a gym teacher. This book can certainly help you. Me I'm a Judo practitioner and a sports fan. This book helped me tremendously.
