ABSTRACT
By the time you get to this chapter, we hope you will have found the book to be readable, useful, and practical, and that you have already begun to test out some of its ideas in your own practice. In particular, we hope the book helps you to work with the type of real clients that we all see, but who rarely exist in textbooks: that is, the ones whose situations are messy, difficult, and challenging. But, as importantly, we would like to think that the ideas contained in this book will help you interpret the wood from the trees, and that you can start believing that you are working well with your clients..
