Recenzje

"The strength of this book lies in the professional format, consisting of an objective, rationale, intructions, clinical vignette, contraindications, and resources for both clients and therapists, for each chapter. The bibliotherapy lists alone will be helpful when clients request books to read." - Wendy Loker in Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy, Vol. 5, No.4.
