Quoted
"The practitioner would have a hard time finding anything comparable to the breadth and depth of this excellent text. The quality of references makes the book worthwhile for anyone interested in knowing more about current work in improving psychotherapy."

-- Patricia Murphy, PhD (Rush University Medical Center)

"This is a major work...There is no other textbook on psychotherapy like this available. This is clearly a book that belongs to the library of all those interested in and practicing psychotherapy, all trainees, and all training programs...It seems that my preconceived idea was correct-this is a major publishing event. So, "buy" is the final recommendation."

-- Annals of Clinical Psychiatry

"...this is a quintessential textbook. It looks like, feels like, and reads like a clinical textbook: comprehensive, thorough, compact, and prescriptive. It could sit on a shelf with medical textbooks and not seem out of place...The heft of the book certainly conveys a seriousness and sense of scientific rigor."

-- PsycCritiques
