No reproduction, adaptation, or translation of the materials may be made for any purpose, in any format, electronic or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the copyright holder.
All materials must be purchased and used by, or under the direct supervision of, a qualified professional.
All materials must be used ethically and for the purposes and in the manner for which they are intended.

Special Permissions Arrangements
We excel in creating what we think of as “special brews”: customized permission arrangements that we craft for qualified researchers or clinicians who are precluded from purchasing and using original published material as is. If you would like to request authorization, contact WPS Rights & Permissions at rights@wpspublish.com. We help qualified individuals and organizations arrange for authorized reprinting, adaptation, or use in translation of our copyrighted materials.
