Advanced, yet practical !

Along with the trend of managed care and the need for better and effective services, cost-effective and outcome studies in mental health field become more and more important. This book arrives in time. The authors outlined related concepts step by step in a logical sequence, and used precise words to state systemic review without lengthy explanations, so that the reader can read and understand easily. The reader can even design his own research after reading through chapter two to nine, because the covered range in related fields was so comprehensive that any question a starter want to ask is included. It is the best book discussing research methods that I ever read.
