This review is from: Intervention Skills: Process Consultation for Small Groups and Teams (Paperback)

I purchased the book Intervention Skills: Process Consultation for Small Groups and Teams in March of 2011 and I read the details of the buyer and the book arrived in due time, new, without any markings and I am very pleased with it. I made sure to tell everyone in class that did not purchase their book to order it before it is all gone and the price was excellent.

Thanks so much,
Leticia Johnson
