Helpful

Great reference and guide for choosing the best assessment measures and for creating treatment plans for psychological disorders. The book is well researched and comprehensive of most Axis One disorders. It provides all the stats and measures that a person could ever want to know.

Great resource for busy therapists with little time to read

Time is a big issue for all therapists. Going through piles of books in search of a specific answer for a specific treatment for a specific condition can be painful and time consuming. This is where I feel this book does really well. Written by 2 leading psychologists in treating mental disorders (especially anxiety) it delivers practical and straight forward treatment plans in minimal time. Not only does it give step by step instructions for a particular psychological disorder, but it also warns therapists against potential pitfalls in treatment and how to help prevent them occurring. What's better is you don't have to read the book from cover to cover to become very knowledgable on a specific condition. Because it is set out according to each psychological condition as illustrated in the DSM IV, you just turn to the area you want to know about and save time. Be warned, this is a professional book and not for the everyday reader. If you are a professional therapist, then this is a must have to be included in your library.

Excellent

This is an excellent resource of information that has lead me to other sources. It was well worth my purchase. It is written in a language that only professionals may understand, but that was the intention. Thank you.
