Bennett and his colleagues have provided a quantum leap forward in conceptualizing and addressing risk management issues in mental health practice. Their novel approach, replete with detailed examples, will afford both novice and seasoned practitioners with powerful strategic and analytic tools to reduce risk. I consider this book a must-read assignment for any mental health practitioner. - Gerry Koocher, Ph.D.
