Reviews

From the book reviews: “The audience is extremely broad, including clinicians, patients, educators, research psychologists, and everyone, including perhaps insurance actuaries, who have an interest in improving patient care outcomes. … This is a well-studied and thought-out book that is outstandingly thought provoking. Every clinician can identify with many of these issues.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2015)
