Review Quotes

"In that sense this book may be a useful reference. I would anticipate that it would be of most help when meeting a problem for the first time. One would quickly learn the catch phrases and association between selected interventions and short-term objectives." (James Claiborn, Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy, Vol. 15, No. 2, 8/01)
