"While this book may be most relevant for readers in the early stages of their careers, therapists of any 'vintage' would benefit from the conscious reflection and self-examination encouraged in the exercises." -- Mary Edwards, Volume 70, Number 1, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, February 2003
