Review As I have previous experience with this series of books, I knew that even though the book was short, it would be dense with information. It s best to approach this series as a reference and glean what you need. I did find that it was quite practical for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in any age group. I have recently started seeing a PTSD patient and have been at a loss.

Her mood and functioning have greatly improved and she is pursuing new life goals. I think that anyone who deals with children teachers, coaches, doctors, nurses, etc. should read this book.

The focus is on psychotherapy, and the authors succeed in providing an excellent, easy-to-read review of the topic. The use of case vignettes...bring the concepts to life and leave the reader with a true understanding of psychotherapeutic modalities....
