"Exciting...the wave of the future."

"Brief Group Treatment is an honest, straight-forward attempt to provide clinicians, educators, and students with the fundamentals needed for the facilitation of contemporary groups. Its primary strength is in the way it is written (it is easy to understand--especially to someone familiar with or interested in the counseling field) and in the insights it provides."
