Gilberto Ulhôa Canto Presidente da Associação Brasileira de Direito Financeiro - ABDF por 28 anos, Ulhôa Canto sempretratou o Direito como verdadeiro artesanato e, por essa razão, deixou enorme e fundamental legado para a formação profissional de incontáveis seguidores pertencentes às mais diversas gerações.

Remarkable for its clarity and practicality, Words That Hurt, Words That Heal illuminates the powerful effects we create by what we say and how we say it.
