This book is likely to be helpful to parents as well as professionals and educationalists. Its main strength is the fact that it uses a lot of examples and gives clear instructions about how to manage the groups, and the material can be adapted for individual sessions too. Many parents and teachers might find the ways in which it addresses certain topics particularly helpful, such as those about relationships, when tackling such issues in classrooms or in conversations with children younger than 13 years... overall, this book is a very enjoyable and worthwhile read!
