Book Synopsis

For professionals in the helping professions, therapists Lee (Ohio State U.) and John Sebold and Adriana Uken (Plumas Country Mental Health Services) explain an approach they have found successful in treating involuntary and uncooperative clients who are domestic violence offenders. It calls for clients to be responsible for solutions rather than for their problems. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
