Description
“A very readable account; a clearly accessible introduction to the field and to critical issues within it. The particular advantage is that this text is addressed to undergraduates making career choices and provides an informed discussion of key issues.†-Kate Briggs, University of West Georgia “The book is well written, easy to understand, and covers all of the necessary topics to gain an appreciation for the field of clinical psychology.†-David Topor, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro  “The most impressive aspect of this material is the comprehensive nature of the text. The breadth, clarity, and usefulness of the coverage is first rate.†-Alan Whitlock, University of Idaho “This is very balanced in presentation-perhaps the least biased text for clinical psych I’ve seen†  -Elizabeth E. Seebach, Saint Mary's University of Minnesota "Very user-friendly- more interactive (in terms of thinking questions, ect.) than other similar texts." -Jessica Yokley, University of Pittsburgh This undergraduate core text presents a balanced overview of clinical perspectives with an emphasis on multicultural issues. Academically rigorous but accessible, it covers psychotherapy clinical assessment, ethical and professional issues, and specialized topics such as forensic and health psychology.
