I love this book! I would like to buy all of the Jongsma books. These are great sources not only for finding information on diagnosing disorders, but they provide a wealth of information including long-term and short-term goals, as well as the interventions that can be used to reach those goals. This book could save a therapist a ton of time and research!

This book is a must for those of us who have clinical notes to write in psychotherapy jargon. The authors make references to other books,which contain methods/techniques clinicians could utilize to enhance their work with clients.
