As helpful as this information is to the MT student, I feel it is invaluable to the novice Massage Therapy practitioner. Once a student graduates, he/she will lose the 'security blanket' of the instructor's guidance. This book, especially the Decision Trees and [Interview Questions], help the new practitioner make an educated, well thought out decision."--Donna Kenny
