Review:

"The book does a good job of showing the students the distinct differences in the approaches. Many students are developing their therapeutic stances and are confused about the different approaches. This book is a valuable tool to help them come to terms with what kind of therapy they want to practice."

"I appreciate the inclusion of the assessment and diagnosis discussions both in the first chapter and in each chapter because it allows students to see how diagnosis is influenced by theoretical orientation. I believe that the inclusion of Feminist Therapy chapter is the best part of the revision, both because growing numbers of students have an interest in Feminist Therapy and also because it illustrates one kind of multicultural approach."
