"An interesting read and a must-read for undergraduates
needing to know more about behaviour techniques. For the
established practitioner, if there are certain patient groups you
see with behavioural quirks you wish to know more about, most
likely this book will cover it." (British Dental
Journal, 11 July 2014)
