"The inclusion of multicultural issues throughout the book is great. Too many texts ignore these populations and fail to realize how one's ethnicity and culture impacts their diagnosis, clinical presentation and treatment. I like how multiculturalism is infused into many of the chapters and not just given lip service."

"My students have found the previous editions well written, readable, clear and without unnecessary verbiage. This edition is equally as well written or better."
