Critics Review

This is a clear and comprehensive review of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal and supportive therapy, as well as group, family, and couples therapy. There are many handbooks available targeting specific therapies, but this book includes discussions of multiple therapeutic interventions. This is a great resource and I would highly recommend it.

* Doody Enterprises, Inc. *

This book is an excellent reference for residents, therapists, psychologists, and practicing psychiatrist who wishes to fortify and expand his or her knowledge of psychotherapeutic interventions, their theoretical bases, and current advances in exploration of their neurobiological correlate.

– Lina Cassandra Vawter, M.D. * Psychiatric Services *

This wonderful textbook confirms that psychotherapy in its theory, practice, and research is alive and well. Psychiatric residents should specially appreciate his textbook as they learn the craft and science of psychotherapy to complement their growing skills as biological- based clinicians.
