[Asher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall Rating: 4/5

A really informative read of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the forensic setting. I started reading this book at work to familiarise myself with all the CBT techniques geared towards the forensic setting. There are many useful techniques in this book which had combined many different journal articles in one place for easy access. Recommended! (Pretty dry at times though, was dozing off for a little while)
