Here is a clinically-based book, that is laden with a deeply compassionate and realistic tone. It went straight to my heart, and will help me enormously in my upcoming career as a therapist. I am in great admiration of Beverly James, and I appreciate the inspiration and personal healing, that I experienced because of reading her work.

This looks like an excellent book - I have just started dipping into it and it is what every practitoner needs - lots of practice wisdom. Just be aware that the actual copyright is 1989. I assumed that it was a 2009 revised edition - in fact it is a 2009 paperback edition of the 1996 Free press hardback edition. It is not a second edition. Pity - I would love to see what James has to add.

I found this book to be very beneficial to my Masters program classwork. The suggestions in the book as well as the therapy practice information are an excellent source for dealing with traumatized children. I would highly recommend it to any counseling therapist who deals with children or adolescents. A definite positive addition for your treatment library.

This book is primarily a teaching tool for therapists, but with useful ideas for application in interpersonal practice.
