"This book is a must-read for academics, scholars, psychologists, psychiatrists, and professionals working in the area of self-assessment and treatment of mental problems. Many of the references in the book are recent since it covers studies on the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes the book worthwhile reading." (Lalit Saxena, Computing Reviews, April 24, 2024)
