Review Quotes: "The book is refreshingly written, and rings with a warm authority that is a useful reminder to researchers, and a welcome change for clinicians concerned about the split between research and clinical practice. I recommend it to both clinicians and researchers, and also to health planners concerned about whether psychotherapy is useful form of medical treatment. The anser is a resounding yes, and Dr. Kazdin is clarifying and improving our understanding of this answer." -- D.S. Palframan, MD, Annals RCPSC, Vol. 33, No. 6, Sept 2000
