Zachary Rosenthal contributes to this thorough revision, supporting an increased emphasis on diversity, including multiculturally sensitive therapy.
In depth presentations of evidence based treatments walk students through the process of diagnosis and treatment with samples of clinical conversations and techniques, immersing them in their learning.
Students are encouraged to actively apply their knowledge with ‘you decide’ case studies that allow for them to select a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Students will be able to connect the clinical case studies with the theory as a result of margin notes that highlight theory, statistics and research as they apply to the examples.
