Fast Service

I received my book within the first couple days of the expected delivery dates, and it was in good shape, like the seller claimed.

Informative AND INTERESTING!

This is a wonderful text for social workers, therapists and anyone in the helping professions because it is both informative and interesting. Authors Karen V. Harper and Jim Lantz provide a practical guide for working with diverse client groups that includes interesting insights into a wide variety of cross-cultural practice issues.The book is also unique in it's emphasis on the importance of "Existential Realization" in the change process.The authors discuss how the experience of meaning and meaning potentials in the client's life is vital to change. This existential view of cross-cultural curative factors is an important perspective for clients and practitioners alike.I loved it and hope others will check it out!!
