'This is a wonderful resource, essential for anyone undertaking mental health research. It is truly comprehensive since it includes not only the latest developments in neuroimaging and genetic studies, but also practical advice for achieving patient and public involvement and avoiding arguments about authorship.' Chris Frith, University College London
'Being an academic clinician is a core part of every clinician's identity. Being able to appraise and evaluate research papers, to apply evidence to one's clinical practice, and to let clinical curiosity drive collaborations that solve patient problems are key attributes of a good clinical scientist. This comprehensive resource provides the foundations to help clinicians integrate fundamental research skills in their daily lives. Resident doctors will find the volume particularly helpful in developing their critical appraisal skills.'
