Opis

This book describes Adaptive Mentalization-Based Integrative Treatment (AMBIT). This is an approach to working with people - particularly young people and young adults - whose problems are not limited to one domain. AMBIT has been designed for community teams from Mental Health, Social Care, and Youth work.

Recenzje

Since its release... I have found myself recommending this book to colleagues left and right as situations inevitably arise in which I think to myself "an AMBIT approach would be so helpful here!"
