"..there is a lot to recommend in this book.." (Legal &Criminological Psychotherapy, February 2002)

Juristen, Psychiater, Verhaltens- und Sozialwissenschaftler haben es in der Praxis häufig mit Klienten zu tun, deren vielschichtige Probleme nur durch gemeinsame Anstrengungen verschiedener Experten zu lösen sind. Entsprechend versucht dieses Buch, zwischen den beteiligten Fachleuten zu vermitteln, übereinstimmende Ansätze herauszuarbeiten und Lücken zu schließen. Eine Anregung und Anleitung zu interdisziplinärer Arbeit, die Mut macht! (06/00)
