Patti Lou Watkins, George A. Clum
“Self-help is ubiquitous, internationally recognized both as an
alternative to and as a critical element of professionally
administered therapies. Commercial hype, blatant self-promotion,
and lack of empirical evaluation, however, have resulted in
professional disdain, marring what should be integral to effective
therapy. What has been sorely missing is a comprehensive
examination of the entire self-help domain, based on sound
evidence, common sense, and clinical acumen. Skilled clinical
scientists Patti Lou Watkins and George A. Clum and their assembled
authors have delivered us an outstanding, erudite, and innovative
handbook to meet exactly this long-standing need.”
- Ian M. Evans, PhD, FRSNZ, Head of School and Professor of
Psychology, Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand“Watkins and
Clum have assembled an impressive cast of contributors to produce a
scholarly and comprehensive volume on self-help therapies. This
book is a must-read for any serious scholar of self-directed
therapies. Evidence-based practitioners will find Watkins and
Clum’s book a valuable resource when considering recommending
self-help materials to their clients.” - Jeffrey E. Hecker, PhD,
Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, University of
Maine“This is a very much needed handbook that definitely fills a
gap in the literature. The issues selected for review are right on
target; and the chapters are authoritative and well written both by
invited contributors and the editors. I therefore highly recommend
Watkins and Clum's Handbook of Self-Help Therapies for
professionals in the field and graduate students alike.”
- Michel Hersen, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Dean, School of
Professional Psychology, Pacific University, Hillsboro"Although the
book's content is well integrated from chapter to chapter,
individual chapters are self-contained, and, thus, the book could
be used either as a complete text or as a reference tool for
specific disorders or modalities. The chapter authors are highly
expert and credible in their content areas. There is little
variability in the quality from chapter to chapter. As a moderately
knowledgeable reader of the self-help literature, I found this text
generally to be of superior quality."-Patricia L. Wolleat in
