Multimodal Therapy, practical & comprehensive

I give Multimodal Therapy a five star rating. This book provides a systematic and usable model of assessment in counseling, yet gives the user of MMT complete freedom in choosing and creating appropriate interventions. This book discusses the theory behind the MMT model and presents examples of the model at work in different therapuetic contexts. I believe that the MMT model is the most easily understood and usable model of assessment and intervention in counseling to date! This book is definitely a good addition to any person's library who is in the helping and/or mental health profession.
