Böcker av Michael H. Stone

This book offers practical guidance for assessing the amenability of patients to psychotherapy. By focusing on which patients are likely to respond well to therapeutic intervention and which will prove most resistive, the book can assist clinicians in determining with what kinds of patients will most likely succeed.

Long before the age of reliable psychodiagnosis (the last 200 years), a primitive vocabulary sprung up to address odd and unconventional people within the body social.

The author presents his subject with a breadth not found in other texts, reaching from those individuals with mildly annoying traits to incurable psychopaths.
