An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

This was a wonderfully comprehensive book. It covered so many of the topics I've covered in therapy over the years. Some of the acronyms were a bit of a stretch but I did like the charts and exercises.
