Brief, with no tricks...

The information covered in this brief book focuses on certain aspects of therapeutic designs but fails to offer the "few good tricks" as promised by the title. Perhaps my perspective and the author's differ. Not a bad book, a good review of some therapeutic approaches and the narrator did a good job...though not sure why it was necessary to read the references section ;-)

Disappointed

I expected so much more. names and theories were mentioned but I felt it was rushed. No substance. I felt I could learn as much from an enthusiastic student over a cup of coffee.
