'… an excellent handbook, and can be recommended to all academic libraries catering for courses in psychology, education or social care.' Reference Reviews
'The authors include many of the leading people in the field, the quality of the writing is generally high, the text is mostly free of obfuscating jargon and mangy of the chapters are very interesting as well as informative.
