insightful ... I would be recommending this as essential reading to
any psychology student but probably more so to anyone who regularly
has conversations with others about anxiety, stress or any
psychological issues. Using this book will remind you that you are
not alone.
*Paul Watson, Nursing Times*
This is a well-balanced, accessible, and clear account of the
practice, outlook, and training of clinical psychologists, drawing
on clinical examples to illustrate how psychologists make their
contribution â a valuable resource for laypeople, students, and
fellow professionals.
