"Changes in the health care delivery system have made it difficult for psychologists to practice ethically and autonomously. Nevertheless, like me, there are many experienced and new clinicians who see independent practice as the way in which they want to serve the public. Kolt's book provides all of us with useful and creative ways in which we can successfully meet the goal of a rewarding practice which meets the myriad needs of the American people."

--Dorothy W. Cantor, Psy.D., Former President, American Psychological Association

"Dr. Kolt's optimistic and yet inspirational and clear ideas put building a psychotherapy practice back into focus. It is a must T.D.R. (Therapists' Desk Reference) for every clinician."

--Richard J. Kay, M.A., President, Michigan Professional Psychology Association

Examples, worksheets, business forms, flow charts, paper and pen exercises, and even assignments in the "real world," will expose you to essential materials and ideas.
