Review: Read me - Bought this for a class, good read! Helpful
Review: Dr. Atkins does it again! - Dr. Atkins has a gift for taking information that could be overwhelming and dry and making it readable and easy to apply. This is a great second edition, with updated information, new case studies, and it is designed to give hope to the clinician and the client. This is an excellent resource for the seasoned professional and definitely for students and clinicians in the beginning of their career. There are examples of treatment plans and how to write them correctly, and useful diagnostic tools. I highly recommend this book!
