Review
"What a gift to education! By practicing the ideas in this book, school counselors everywhere can help create new descriptions and stories that will transform the academic lives and behaviors of their students. Not only will schools be practicing what they have been preaching in the way of promoting respect from their students, they will receive that respect back in return." (Linda Metcalf, Author )

This review is from: Narrative Counseling in Schools: Powerful & Brief (Paperback)
I have been in the field of counseling for over 12 years and this is by far one of the best books I have read. It is practical, drenched in theoretical exploration and easy to understand. The authors make their case in a variety of ways that forces you to think about how you think about labels, descriptors and how you can best help your clients in a culture that is based in labeling. Fantastic! EJW, LCPC
