Reviews

This is superbly researched and written manuscript! It integrates old and new concepts in a cogent and stunning manner. Topics are not so unusual, but are presented in a new and intriguing manner. The book is relevant to both beginning (grad students) and seasoned therapists of every discipline of the helping professions. I would be inclined to adopt this text in one of our clinical treatment/interventions classes.
