The creativity and resourcefulness of the Joshi's informs this comprehensive work on mammals, which is divided into three parts.
The first discusses how the language of case-taking will point to an animal nature (eg: trapped, humiliated , angry, competitive) and explores how to find an animal focus in the case by asking the appropriate questions (of which many examples are given).
The second gives examples of case-taking techniques in actual cases, with their successful outcomes.
The third examines the issues of individual mammals  according to family groups.
The Joshis differentiate between predator and prey animals based on an individual's confidence, self-esteem, and leadership qualities. For example, the egotisitcal, noisy lion - top of the food chain - presents very different characteristics to a small prey animal such as the timid, nervy, rabbit. As well as differences between species, those between reptiles, birds and mammal kingdoms are clearly drawn, and the authors relate individuals within the mammal species examined to columns and rows  of the periodic table. For a cutting edge, comprehensive guide to how mammals may present in your consulting room, look no further than this clinically researched, colour illustrated guide.
