How do we help the helpers? Those of us who have worked with troubled individuals and families know how important it is to have both time to reflect with others and the right spaces to do it in. It is the process of talking through that enables practitioners to go on going on--holding them and offering the moments of reprieve. This book shows how work discussion can offer that space for reflection--a must read for practitioners working with children and families. --Mary MacLeod, Chief Executive This is a superb collection, showing from [the perspectives of] both trainee and trainer how real learning is surprising, disturbing and exciting when subjective experience is taken seriously. It's a wonder that the Tavistock's gift to public service development has been kept under wraps for so long. --Sebastian Kraemer, Consultant Child Psychiatrist, Whittington Hospital; Honorary Consultant
