Description
This unique book bridges the gap between evidence-based research and clinical practice. Edited by Kari Bo who has done pioneering research
in this area, each chapter focuses on the evidence, from basic studies (theories or rationales for the treatment) and RCTs (appraisal
of effectiveness), to the implications of these for clinical practice, and finally in recommendations on how to start, continue and progress
treatment.
