With an emphasis upon cognitive-behavioral interventions, it provides resources and guidance for any psychotherapist working with any client.

For each of the three phases, it presents an array of techniques, protocols, and interventions, described clearly, thoroughly, and in a structured, easy-to-follow manner, in the four categories of cognitive, behavioral, body-oriented, and emotional/relational.
