Customer Reviews

Great Book!

This is an excellent resource for therapists working with kids and parents...well laid out, easy to find information. You can go from chapter to chapter based on what diagnosis you are workisng with. Various treatment modalities and theories are drawn from, but its not alot of theory stuff. Something to use in real life, not just in grad school. Great list of authors, all well known in their area of expertise. Highly reccomended.
