The fourth edition features the Intersectionality/Resiliency Formulation (IRF)―a model unique to this text―helping clinicians in assessing the whole person, not just the disorder. Case studies illustrate real-life complexity, while discussion questions and activities promote critical thinking. Updated for new populations and global contexts, this guide prepares clinicians for today’s diverse client needs.
