Reviews
“A practical, well-written, and extremely valuable resource for all mental health professionals dealing with the numerous forms of interpersonal violence. It spans the spectrum of violence from bullying to workplace violence and will serve the reader quite well. I recommend this tome as an excellent source of assessment and treatment strategies, thought-provoking information, and prevention techniques for the present and future.”
-Albert R. Roberts, PhD, Professor of Criminal Justice and Social Work, Director of Faculty and Curriculum Development, Interdisciplinary Criminal Justice Programs, Rutgers University
“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.”
