Summary: The Human Machine Writes 'Names 'for its hurts!
Review: When people have written that they think this is a good option for busy therapists in the age of managed care- I cringe. This reduces the complexities of the human experience into study hall.

The only possible usage for this sort of material would be in-patient perhaps, as assignments for interim periods, but as a one on one tool- it stands in the way of transferrence and humanistic care.
