| Summary: | "In a broad, multidisciplinary review of the literature, Miller argues that there is an urgent need for a learning process that helps prepare students for therapeutic encounters. He proposes that the clinical case study is the optimal vehicle for communicating clinical knowledge and conducting clinical research. Although case studies are frequently derided as being of limited applicability, Miller shows how, by following a quasijudicial method, "case law" and reliable principles of practice can be developed." "Designed for the undergraduate, graduate student, or professional psychologist who has become disenchanted with the experimental and quantitative approach to psychology, this book provides answers for those who seek a legitimate alternative."--BOOK JACKET. |
