"I love this book, and I know several colleagues who will read it hungrily when it is available to them. The book has already been of assistance to me in a case consultation. Dr. Goldsworthy's assessment model is very comprehensive; I was assisted in formulating hypotheses about the child and able to ask questions that generated some "ahas" from the clinician." -- Audrey Weston, Ph.D., Idaho State University
