'This is an elegantly written resource book providing its reader with a complete step by step guide to delivering the group programmes; but I have found that it is so much more. The author has created an insightful resource which translates the world of the child into an easily accessible manual for staff to consider. The author has been able to communicate the child’s emotional health needs so simply and effectively that I would recommend this book as a must have when working in schools, alongside parents and for your own therapeutic practice. It is a resource to come back to again and again.' - Chandrika Meeten, Play Therapy Magazine
