Excellent. Very self explanetory and straight forward with excellent methods for therapists and helpful to explore for non-therapists with easy to understand language and very comprehensive and helpful.

Like the set up of the book and the way it breaks things down. My only regret is not getting it in print rather than kindle because of the ability to skip directly to the section you need.Easy to understand. A good explaination of a complicated subject put in laymens terms.

Absolutely brilliant book, helped me understand my diagnosis and treatment a lot better. Very positive and practical

..... And ridiculously small text. Not worth the money
