Trade Review“
Feedback-Informed Treatment in Clinical Practice is well written, is well edited, and has a clear agenda: to encourage readers to embark upon the journey of excellence to improve their performance, although the journey can be both hazardous and threatening to the identity of the therapist…. This agenda is, however, important and innovative in psychotherapy, which makes the book relevant to any mental health practitioner, psychotherapy researcher, and student in this field.” —PsycCRITIQUES
