Review :
The Integral Intake is a superb book-clearly written, theoretically sound, practically oriented, and desperately needed. Highly recommended for the professional and the interested layperson, it gives a much-needed integrated approach to the entire field of psychotherapy, and hence is truly groundbreaking. - Ken Wilber, Founder, Integral Institute; author of A Brief History of Everything and Integral Psychology
Andre Marquis has modeled a better way in this volume. It is a truly integral book that has taken a bold map of the human experience and carefully crafted it into a workable set of instructions that guide the therapeutic process from start to finish. - from the foreword, by Elliott Ingersoll, PhD, PCC, Professor of Counseling, Administration, Supervision, & Adult Learning, Cleveland State University, USA
This is a substantial and thoroughly readable book presenting a rationally-derived, systematic, and more comprehensive approach to the challenge of assessment in counseling and psychotherapy. The author offers many original, theoretically stimulating, and practical ideas, and the forms on the accompanying CD will help a wide range of therapists actually apply the novel theoretical issues discussed in the book. - Adam Blatner, MD, author of Foundations of Psychodrama; editor of Improvisational and Interactive Drama
