Review:

"The Singular Clinical Competence Series is designed to move each of us further along the path that leads to clinical competence. Each book covers a disorder, a clinical tool, or a specific body of knowledge that, once mastered, increases what we know, and improves what we do. Its purpose is to create competent clinicians who know the profession's current body of knowledge, have the ability to add continuously to that knowledge, and can apply it in their appraisal, diagnosis, and treatment."
