Review
Aptly named, this resource is filled with creative interventions that help our youth to navigate the troubled waters of childhood. Covering topics that range from emotional literacy to self-esteem building, the techniques presented are both practical and playful. The flexible format of the book allows room for interventions to be used for individual, family or group sessions. Mental health professionals who work with children and families will find this a valuable addition to their libraries. ---Paris Goodyear-Brown, LCSW, RPT-S
Mental health professionals are sure to find a number of creative ideas that they can put right to use in their practice. Highly recommended. ---Charles E. Schaefer, Ph.D
This work by Liana Lowenstein is the essence of creativity itself. The activities are based on sound developmental principles and grounded in a rich understanding of the psychological issues that children and youth struggle with. The book is written in a clear and accessible format that all those who work with troubled children will find imaginative and inspirational. Truly, a fine addition to the professional bookshelf. ---William S. Rowe, Ph.D.
