Recensioner i media

'The clinical material is stimulating and discusses issues such as the rehabilitation of abused children with their parents, adoption, and group work with physically disabled adolescents. Psychotherapists, child and forensic psychiatrists and other professionals providing supervision or treatment in residential or in-patient settings will certainly appreciate this book.' - Alyson Hall, Psychological Bulletin'Destined to become a classic text and to live in the bookshelves, briefcases and handbags of practicing psychotherapists (adult, child and adolescent), it is sure to become a key text for both training schools and those involved in planning and commissioning of services.' - Caroline Owens, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
