Since he himself knows the difficulty of slowing down in these hyperactive times, he is able to give practical guidelines to others, drawn from a wealth of information found in the Scriptures, empirical research, and psychological reports. . . . If rest is not easy for you to put into practice, learn from an author who is growing at a healthy pace and willing to bring others along on the journey." -from the Foreword, by Dr. Gary R. Collins SIANG-YANG TAN is professor of psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary. He also serves as Senior Pastor of First Evangelical Church in Glendale, California.

How would therapists using different theoretical systems handle the very same client?

Each therapist explains the thinking that underpins his or her clinical interventions. It is this thinking aloud methodology which makes each chapter an invaluable text for psychotherapy students. Each chapter is followed by a critique by experts in the field.
