Reviews

This is one of the best texts on this subject to emerge in recent years - well written, scholarly with practice accounts that draw on Michelle Lefevre's direct experience. An essential text for all practitioners who encounter children and young people in their work. Pam Trevithick, University of Bristol This highly readable book makes a valuable contribution to an important but undeveloped area of practice. It combines theoretical perspectives on the dynamics of communication with children with opportunities for application, reflection and evaluation of one's own practice. Karen Tanner, Senior Clinical Lecturer in Social Work, Tavistock Clinic
