Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
In the Aftermath of the Pandemic
John C. Markowitz · 2021
82/100
👍 Worth It
If you are a practicing clinician dealing with patients still navigating pandemic grief, isolation, and role disruption, this is a tight, well-grounded resource from one of IPT's leading researchers published by Oxford. The real-world case vignettes and the novel COVID Behavioral Checklist make it genuinely practical rather than purely theoretical. Not a self-help book at all — this is a clinical tool, and within that scope it is excellent.
