Bringing together an array of renowned, highly creative contributors, this indispensable book demonstrates how narrative and collaborative work with young people can bridge the gap between the seemingly disparate worlds of adults and children--and can foster unique and imaginative solutions to even the most challenging clinical problems. Through transcripts and compelling case examples, contributors illuminate how drama, art, play, and humor can effectively be used to engage children of different ages and to honor their idiosyncratic language, knowledge, and perspectives. Chapters conclude with engaging question-and-answer sessions between the editors and the contributors that further draw out the principles and techniques of each approach.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This wide-ranging book features postmodern ideas and innovative interviewing methods....The working contexts range from schools, playrooms, offices, and clinics to family homes and group homes. The book is simply full of creative variations in narrative practice! But other methods like the use of drama, art, home support, and the collaborative language systems approach are also included. A gratifying theme throughout is the consistent commitment to honoring and respecting the actual experiences of the young people with whom we work." --Karl Tomm, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Calgary
"In this book readers will find many wonderfully creative expressions of collaborative/narrative approaches to problems experienced in childhood and adolescence. The chapters are framed by a thoughtful and informative introduction that addresses many of the questions that are often asked about the tradition of thought and practice that informs these collaborative/narrative approaches. There is something for everyone in this book." --Michael White, BASW, Dulwich Centre, Adelaide, South Australia
"Smith and Nylund have compiled a collection of hopeful, exciting approaches to working with children that is as diverse as the problems that children and their families bring to therapy. Each chapter is unique, but the approaches are joined together by the spirit of possibility, respect, and collaboration that suffuses them all." --Bill O'Hanlon, MS

Format:Paperback
This book is innovative in the approach it presents.
Grounding its base in narrative practice, it presents the work of some distinguished narrative therapists in child and adolescent therapy.
It contains plenty of case studies and styles of working from this perspective.
The book is very accesible and well documented.
I recomend it very much

Format:Paperback
This book begins with a mis-guided description of narrative therapy, and then follows it up with chapter after chapter of transcripts of narrative therapists talking with clients. While the transcripts are at times interesting, you won't learn much from them. Reading this book is a waste of your time, especially chapter 6. I know 18 people who read this and we all hated it, especially chaper 6 which ends with a narrative therapist deciding to give money to a drug-addicted mother to go on "vacation".
