"The volume itself is made extremel interesting, thorough and engaging because its contributors come from many disciplines, and because it does not only focus on therapy. Practitioners' contributions demonstrate and shed new lights on the ideas elaborated in more theoretical papers, and the collection as such emphasizes how fruitful it is when theory and practice are not seperated." -- Eszter Szep, Eotvos Lorand University
