Review

"Unlike most books meant for lay readers, this volume gives a large number of references to back up the statement made, and this is done unobtrusively. This enables the interested readers, especially professional readers (who will find this book most useful to read) to follow up the relevant references. Overall, this is an excellent book. The expertise of the author is coupled with his unusual skill in writing in simple, readable style. It is also a well-organized book."- "Behavorial Research Therapy"
