This book addresses the challenges faced when children who refuse to talk, children who lack psychological mindedness, teens who experience a strong aversion to the influence of any adult, and children and teens who mask their woundedness by hostility or diffidence show up for therapy. It does not push one therapeutical or theoretical approach over another but specifically describes useful tools that can be utilized within a wide range of approaches.
