I recommend this as a valuable addition to the family therapy literature.' - The Canadian Child Psychiatry Review

This book should be required reading for anyone doing clinical work with children and families.' - Journal of Systemic Therapies 'This pragmatic book by an accomplished therapist succeeds in presenting an integrated solution-focused approach for children and their families ... Should be very helpful to child mental health clinicians, clinical supervisors, graduate school instructors, and graduate students.' - Psychiatric Services

'This is an excellent book for clinicians working with children from a systemic perspective. It is well-written in a language that clinicians understand. It gives many wonderfully creative examples that therapists can easily apply to their own cases. I will keep it handy on my bookshelf and use it when I need a fresh idea with families who have young children.' - Journal of Family Psychotherapy
