Markowitz and Weissman succeed brilliantly at interweaving science, medicine, psychology, and culture, and I highly recommend it to clinicians interested in expanding their repertoire and to psychologists interested in contemporary clinical practice. What makes this casebook so compelling is that the editors have succeeded at making IPT accessible to the uninitiated while still providing ample references to the research behind the techniques.
