“[O]rganized in such a way that every chapter teaches the clinician a lesson. . . . This book has the potential to be a powerful tool for clinicians to connect with their clients, both challenging and not, on a level they never have before by teaching the clinician how to set limits while still keeping a compassionate and constructive relationship.” (International Journal of Psychotherapy)“Written in a disarmingly genuine, humorous, and self-disclosing style,The Heat of the Moment in Treatmentexplores the barriers to effective communication that clinicians carry and how we can carry them in a lighter way. It is packed full of practical and highly revealing self-exploratory exercises, case examples, and easy-to-follow clinical guidelines for working with difficult clients in difficult situations. This book should be required reading in every graduate program for mental health and addiction training. Destined to become a classic!” (Kirk Strosahl, PhD, author of Brief Interventions for Radical Change)
