This book was very well written. It was very informative, comprehensive, and well organized. The author covered several different types of therapies and interventions as well as modalities of treatment. He clearly outlined how to apply interventions individually as well as in groups, couples, and families. The assessments and treatment plans provided in the appendices were very helpful. I know that this book and its accompanying workbook will be great resources for my clinical practice! Well done!
