I do like this book quite a lot! It follows two cases through the entire text, one child and one adult case, and explains them through the lenses of the major theoretical schools of thought in psychotherapy, including cognitive-behavioral, systems and psychodynamic psychology. I like also that newer, less traditional models are presented, for example, social constructionist and social inequalities approaches. There is also a chapter on integrative case formulation. My only complaint is that the chapter on psychodynamic case formulation is rather scant and narrow, focusing on Malan's Triangle of Conflict; it would have been beneficial for them to draw upon a dialog about Fred Pine's (1990) synthesis of the 4 primary psychodynamic schools -- Freudian Drive Psychology, Ego Psychology, Object Relations and Self Psychology.

All in all though, it is a very good book and I have begun requiring it for my doctoral students in their psychotherapy courses and seminars.
