Rezensionen
"The authors intend to provide an up-to-date manual in the rapidly developing field of MedFT as well as behavioral healthcare more generally. ... This is an important addition to the field of MedFT. It is a book that practitioners in the field and those training to join it can refer to again and again to understand the dynamics of a collaborative team and the skills necessary to provide adequate care from a biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective in medical settings." (Ileana Ungureanu, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2018)
