Reviews
Laura Ellsworth's writing has the authenticity of an experienced practitioner sharing her clinical expertise. The book began as a treatment intervention manual for therapists working with victims of sexual abuse and was expanded to reach a wider audience...It was inspirational and practical in offering realistic therapeutic strategies to support traumatized children and their carers. Although it is directed towards working with children who have been sexually abused, it could equally be applied to children traumatized by physical or emotional maltreatment. - Karen Baker, Sexual and Relationship Therapy
I have worked extensively with children and adolescents for over fifty years, but I have never specifically addressed the problems that Laura Ellsworth covers so thoroughly in this outstanding book. If you are involved with this growing population as a counselor, teacher, parent, child protection worker or concerned citizen, this long needed book is a must read. - William Glasser, M.D., the William Glasser Institute Choosing to Heal makes a major contribution to both reality therapy and the field of child abuse. Therapists, counselors, social workers, case managers, youth workers, and even parents will find a goldmine of ideas in this book. - Robert E. Wubbolding, Ed.D., Director of the Center for Reality Therapy and Director of Training at the William Glasser Institute This book is a valuable resource for both experienced therapists and those with little therapeutic experience, giving detailed, specific, and effective suggestions for professionals working in this field. - Stan Davis, therapist, school counselor, and author of Schools Where Everyone Belongs Laura Ellsworth has written an insightful, yet practically focused book. It not only provides an excellent Choice Theory/Reality Therapy perspective on child sexual abuse, but also, and most importantly, offers therapists and other mental health professionals a wide range of strategies and techniques they can implement immediately. - John Brickell DC., Director of Centre For Reality Therapy UK Laura Ellsworth's writing has the authenticity of an experienced practitioner sharing her clinical expertise.
