Recenzje

"Joel Paris has written an informative and engaging book that details historical developments, theoretical considerations, empirical findings, and treatment approaches. Using case studies to illustrate key points, it provides a comprehensive reference for students, academics, and clinicians wanting to learn more about this complex and often-poorly understood disorder. Importantly, it presents a practical approach, in the form of stepped care, which can help improve access to treatment for this neglected, and often maligned, patient group." --Dr. Catherine Winsper, Senior Research Fellow, Warwick Medical School, Univeristy of Warwick
