Hedges updates his ground breaking first edition with special articles on the pressing issues of working with minors and child custody evaluations, and provides critical information regarding compliance with new HIPPA regulations. In this book he urges clinicians to practice defensively and provides a course of action that equips them to do so.

This book is a wake-up call, a practical, clinically sound response to a frightening reality, and an absolute necessity for all therapists in practice today.
