Reviews:
….Guide through maze of psychotherapies…the smorgasbord of available approaches to psychological problems would confuse even the most stable client. To someone who is emotionally troubled, the staggering number of choices can be staggering … “The Psychotherapy Handbook” … describes more than 250 therapies now in use.
— Jane Brody, The New York Times
… The argot in this volume is relatively simplistic for the laymen to comprehend and any concept that seems advanced is elucidated. I recommend “The Psychotherapy Handbook” for anyone who is indecisive about where to seek psychological help as well as for folks, like myself, who are avid readers of psychology books.
— Anonymous, Barnes &, Noble
…. What an amazing reference for student and mental health practitioners. This book contains every therapy that you have heard of and hundreds you probably wouldn’t believe ever existed.
