no probs

got my book in time for school as promised! thanks for the good service.

A Highly valuable resource for every clinician and grad students

I was just preparing for a training that I am conducting when I again sought my copy of this book on child therapy. Chethik is from alma mater, but that is not the reason I refer to his writings. This book provides insight from a psychodynamic perspective and useful techniques in engaging child clients. You may dispute the theoritical basis for the writer's beliefs, but the techniques can be helpful for other disciplines. Personally, I like both the theory and the tools.
