Review:

There are now many handbooks of clinical psychology....A few distinct features make the APA volumes stand out from the pack. First, there is the remarkable coverage...Second, the organization, structure, and strong editorial leadership bring a uniformity that goes beyond format and style. Interchapter consistency gives the overall product a level of excellence that rises well above the competitors with which I am familiar. Finally, the set has the imprimatur and reflects the huge influence of the APA. --PsycCRITIQUES
