Great Resource

If you are looking for a single source that looks at all the various ways that SFBT can be applied, look no further. This work not only helps to define SFBT, but also gives good, practical ways to apply SFBT to your counseling situations. This book is a must have for any clinician, hospital chaplain, or minister. NOTE: This is more of a textbook than a coffee table book. Great tool, but also technical in nature.
