Reviews
"Innovations in Clinical Practice, with its new format focusing in depth on relevant clinical problems or populations is of immeasurable value to practitioners. The clinical issues discussed not only provide state of the art, background information on selected clinical topics but also provide the practitioner ideas for assessment and treatment.... [It] focuses on topics important in today's practice."
-Diane J. Willis, PhD, Professor Emeritus, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center; 2003 President, Society of Clinical Psychology
"A valuable resource that is easy to read and understand, this volume offers an interesting collection of articles on the most current issues dealing with youth. It provides practical information with pertinent forms and handouts that can readily be assimilated into a clinical practice. "The Ethical and Legal Issues in Working with Children and Adolescents" should be read by anyone who works with children and their families. I have acquired many additional tools to incorporate into my work.
