Reviews and Endorsements
'In his book, Chris Scalzo not only manages to make difficult existential thought and ideas accessible and understandable, but by grounding them in thoughtful and sometimes moving examples, clearly demonstrates their relevance to clinical practice. In this way he has made an important contribution to existential therapeutic thought and has written a book that is of value to anyone - professional or otherwise - who truly cares about understanding and relating to children.'
- Paul McGinley, Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis, senior lecturer at Regents College on their Psychology MA & Doctorate and the Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy
'Illustrated throughout with vibrant case examples, this philosophically-rich text opens up an important dialogue about the application of existential ideas to therapeutic work with children. Useful reading, not just for existential therapists, but for practitioners of all orientations who put understanding, relating and a deep respect for their young clients before objectification and diagnosis.'
