From the reviews of the First Edition:
"Everitt & Wessely are to be congratulated on producing an excellent
guide to help overcome the snags in clinical trial research. Clearly
written and in an engrossing style, the book is likely to become a
classic textbook on clinical trials, and not just in psychiatry. The
authors' enthusiasm and grasp of clinical trial research make for a
gripping and insightful read...it is one of the very best books that has
been written on clinical trials." THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY
"The experience of both authors in this area gives the book a very
pragmatic approach grounded in reality, with theoretical overviews
invariably being followed by practical examples and applications... an
invaluable companion to anyone involved in, or contemplating
undertaking, clinical trials research." PSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE
