"The volume is a masterly solution for integrating approaches of clinical, practical work and science, thus showing the way towards a more successful treatment. The textbook in fact reveals to us the science of practice". (European Journal of Mental Health, 2011) "I am not sure how any UK psychologist could be without one on the shelves."
