Therapist's Guide to Clinical Intervention: The 1-2-3s of Treatment Planning (Practical Resources for the Mental Health Professional)

This book has really been a tremendous resource to me in my profession. It provides great insight into the assessment process, and I love the self test, and other exercises. I really love this book so much, that I wish that the binding was so that pages could be more easily removed then placed back (for coping and to utilize during individual session). I would eagerly invest more if provided the opportunity to purchase this book in a removable notebook style fastening.
