Reviews / Votes
This book has enhanced my confidence in my ability to administer the treatment. As a clinician familiar with both the empirical and applied aspects of PTSD treatment, I strongly recommend this book to any therapist interested in administering an effective, empirically based treatment for PTSD. * PsycCRITIQUES *More details
