“This edition is both timely and crucial to the continued advancement of the field….This book takes into account the whole person and does not get weighed down by the mere presence or absence of symptoms. It goes beyond the subjective nature of the disorder and truly makes clinicians think. Given the present state of the field, this book truly provides a missing piece of the therapeutic puzzle….No matter what your theoretical framework, this book and its ideas will work for you. Truly a mind-opening experience, and one which makes clinicians stop and think about their current therapeutic orientation. A must read for open-minded clinicians willing to go beyond the confines of the current diagnostic models. *****!”
