"This book is excellent. Written by well-known experts, it covers many different DSM-5 disorders and problems, providing a step-by-step approach to treatment. The sixth edition justifies replacing the fifth because new research is released daily revealing new evidence-based treatments, as reflected by the updated content in this edition. Clinicians and researchers will not be disappointed by this volume."
