Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This well-written, logically presented book describes complex concepts in an accessible way without oversimplifying them. It is both an indispensable guide to undergraduates and a practical reference tool for clinicians in the application of models and theories to practice. The new edition has widened its scope by inviting contributions from leading academics and clinicians and now offers an international perspective.
