A really interesting read. I finished this book a few months ago and waited too long to write a review. All I can say right now is READ THIS BOOK. I am going to recommend it to everyone I know; then, I will read it again and again. I loved reading the case studies and seeing the client-psychologist relationship from the side of the councillor.
