Review:

"The organization was helpful. I especially liked the questions at the end of each chapter; they should increase students' abilities to apply the material to case examples." -Farrah Hughes, Francis Marion University "It is a great source book for me as an educator, therapist and researcher." -Cynthia Faulkner, Morehead State University
