Reviews

The language the authors use is exemplary: loud and clear, no nonsense. I particularly like the reflective parts, with the kinds of questions a solution focused worker would ask their client. A book you should have in your library! -- Els Mattelin, therapist and co-author of Autism and Solution-focused Practice
