Review Quotes:
I have been thinking, writing, and doing research about therapist effects for more than a decade, and I have been training clinicians for an even longer period. Over the years, I have become convinced that what makes some therapists better than others is in part the ability to build a comprehensive but also a clear understanding of their clients' difficulties; an understanding that guides their selection and implementation of cohesive, flexible, and responsive interventions to the needs of their clients. This book has not only solidified my conviction, it has also provided me with invaluable insights and actionable tools to further develop and teach case formulation skills. And because it is based on an integrative and evidence-based approach, I strongly believe that most--if not all--trainees, experienced therapists, and supervisors will read it and feel the same way.
