Recenzje

"Professor Paris has done it again with another insightful, clearly written, book that highlights core issues that every clinician (and researcher) should be thinking about. Taking us through the evolution of his thinking, Dr. Paris integrates the wide-ranging universe of psychopathology and the nature-nurture debate into a conceptual model that clinicians can understand and embrace."
