2.5/5
Pretty good textbook.
I liked the inclusion of information on professionals working in this field currently and other current programs and research that are being implemented. There was a bit of repetition in this textbook (paragraphs in at least two chapters that were exactly the same because they were based on the same studies). I felt that it was a little too heavy on the statistics side of things and less so on the explanatory side. I would have preferred less stats and just more explanations. Overall though, it wasn't bad.
