Customer Testimonials
Great for working psychologists.
Interesting, relevant issues.
The article on confidentiality after death was revelatory. I created a quick form for my clients to sign and have placed in my file for them. I shared the information with a group of my colleagues and they were astounded and wanted to bring this issue to their clients as well.
