Biography
Michel Hersen, Linda Krug Porzelius
"...this book should function as a useful introduction to behavioral case formulation, as well as to diagnostic considerations for a set of common clinical syndrome disorders....The text by Hersen and Porzelius is an exemplar of the behavioral standpoint and accompanying perspectives and values...I expect that it will enrich the education of beginning therapists, increase their therapeutic effectiveness, and help develop their understanding of clients. This volume is a welcome addition to the growing list of texts addressing therapy case formulation."
