quot;A major stumbling block to adoption of evidence�Cbased practice in the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of clinician�Cfriendly guides. Such guides need to be understandable, free of technical research jargon, infused with clinical expertise, and rich with real�Clife examples. Rubin and Springer have hit a home run with this series, which has all of these characteristics and more.quot;
