So beautifully written, concisely expanded, it should be in the hands of every graduate student in training, as well as in the heads of seasoned professionals.' - Luciano L'Abate; 'Over the past decade, [Gerald Weeks and Stephen Treat] have been Instrumental in developing an important integrative theory approach - three Intersystem Model. In this volume, they have provided basic therapeutic techniques and strategies informed by that model.
