The P.R.I.D.E. Factor

I think that all parents would find the book inspirational. The book is also presented in a clear, engaging and up-beat tone. Although it is rich with sound information, it is presented in language that is easily understandable and accessible to the layperson. I, myself, have had formal training in these concepts and have treated both adults and children who faced the challenge of "bouncing back." Having words that lay people can also understand and work with is a real contribution. But mostly what I loved about the book is that it made me happy! Margot Garfield LICSW ( Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker ), M. Ed, Advanced Candidate in Psychoanalysis As a Superior of a religious community, I found that the focus on resilience and the capacity to "bounce back" are essential both for the psychological health of the individual and also for the well being of a community. The principles presented in this book have helped me manage many difficult human situations with increased confidence. Fr. Patrick Lynch S.J. Rector of Canisius College Jesuit Community
