Reviews

Denning and Little have earned an international reputation for their research and clinical practice. Highlighting the principle of 'doing patients no harm, ' the authors explain the theoretical background of harm reduction psychotherapy and describe how to conduct it. The book is packed with vivid, intriguing examples. I recommend it to a broad readership of mental health professionals and students. --Hendrik G.

This important book shows how practitioners can treat clients at the precise point where they are capable of making changes.
