Mastering Competencies in Family Therapy: A Practical Approach to Theories and Clinical Case Documentation

Was in good condition

This book is super helpful for students learning the foundational theories of MFT

The book content is great! Perfect addition for studying for licensure. Gave this 3 stars because the book itself (physical copy), was garbage. It’s brand new and falling apart. Pages are shredding on bottom, little pieces of the paper just going everywhere. A lot of the pages have marks in them. At first looks like a pen, but it’s too thin and just going in zigzag lines everywhere. The cover is splitting from the pages. I’m obsessed with keeping books in tip top shape and whoever manufactures this book, did a poor job. It makes it hard to have spent $132 but I like to use Diane Gehart for study material.

I can't speak on the quality of the author's writing or content. However for what this costs, this book is flimsy and there are printer marks and streaks throughout the book.I was also extremely disappointed to find the new edition's "video series" which shows interventions is only available through the E-book, videos are what I learn the most from. For those of use who pay EXTRA for a NEW real book this puts us at a disadvantage. (If anyone has a way to access these I am willing to reconsider my stance.)Leave it to Cengage to overprice and underdeliver.
