Reviews / Votes

This engaging book is the distillation of a lifetime of experience and thought of a master clinician and teacher. Therapists of all theoretical orientations will encounter pearls of wisdom to enhance their understanding and practice. -- Jonathan Shedler, PhD., clinical associate professor of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine What Every Therapist Needs to Know is an important book, not just for beginning practitioners but also for those more advanced. Karson has found a way to integrate relational thinking with Skinner's behaviorism in a readable and accessible book. I welcome this addition to the psychotherapy literature as a valuable resource for those conducting psychotherapy who may feel torn between one orientation and another. Karson integrates behavioral and relational thinking in a way that is enlightening for those who feel committed to one or the other. -- Peter Buirski, dean emeritus and clinical professor, Graduate School of Professional Psychology, University of Denver Karson resides in a realm of clinical mastery that no book may convey, but for the aspiring clinician, this latest work of his is both foundation and path. Ascend the spiral staircase! -- Ioannis Ioannou, Psy.D., CCHP, psychologist for MHM Services, Inc.
