Pat’s new book should be on the desk, not the bookshelf, of every professional studying or working with aggression cases. It will become your “go to” reference manual for all case management and behavior modification protocols. Your personal copy will quickly become dog-eared, highlighted, bookmarked, smudged with fingerprints, annotations and filled with post-it notes.
