Biography

Patti Lou Watkins, George A. Clum

"The volume comprehensively covers the definition, ethics, theoretical underpinnings, research modalities, and efficiacy of self-help therapies, as well as the politics of the self-help movement. In addition to the comprehensive content coverage, the format of the book sets it apart from many handbooks in the mental health field....As a moderately knowledgeable reader of the self-help literature, I found this text generally to be of superior quality."

-Patricia L. Wolleat, in PsycCRITIQUES, October 22, 2008, Vol. 53, Release 43, Article 8

-Sarah Hovington, in Healthcare Counselling and Pyschotherapy Journal, January 2009
