The authors sensitively illustrate, from first contact with an assessment client through to their summary session and beyond, how the assessor's role can facilitate transformative change. A decade-plus into my experience with Therapeutic Assessment, I found myself learning significantly from this volume, and grateful for the chance to further refine my approach.
