Eh

Very informative. Deadly dull. It's just a bunch of research studies. Great if you're into that kind of thing, or if you're assigned the book like I was.

A tad on the expensive side, but well worth the money.

I was able to purchase this book through a professional book club at a substantially lower price, so for me to say that "you must have this book," is easy for me to say. Nevertheless...I have used this book countless times in my family therapy courses because this handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the current practice with regard to the intervention approaches in the child and family psychotherapy. Specific problems are dealt with in a cogent, yet thorough fashion with a plethora of research to buttress the assertions made. This book is a compilation of current trends of intervention with specific problems and populations,containing empirical support of each approach, and the integration of treatment approaches. The book may be a little pricey, but I look at purchases such as these as an investment in my career.
