Enormously Helpful

I've been using this book for a number of years with my counseling students. Howard Book provides a very accessible framework that is tremendously helpful in clarifying client dynamics. John Christopher, Ph.D. Professor of Counseling Psychology Montana State University

would buy from again!

my book arrived promptly and in great condition! i would certainly order from this seller again.

Very worthwhile publication

I enjoyed this book immensely. It was refreshing to note that the "brief psychodynamic" perspective detailed by Book did not refer at all to the Freudian model of the psyche (id - ego - superego). Indeed the model presented could as easily have been termed "interpersonal relationship therapy", as there was little to betray its psychodynamic roots. Book had no need for the traditional psychodynamic model in order to use this therapeutic modality so, citing parsimony, he left it out.
