Review

"An exciting, new text that 'tells it like it is' in managed care...should be required reading for anyone planning to work in the mental health professions."

"Good, practical information for beginning therapists."

"Very practical and useful for opening the door of managed care to the graduate student who has no in-depth experience in the field."
