"I have found this book to be both practical and inspiring." – Pat
Havell, ACP North London Magazine"This is essential reading for
anyone seeking either an introduction to or consolidation in usinf
solution-focused (SF) approaches with children and young people." -
Carolyn Mumby, coach therapist and founder director of the
therapist2coach training company, in Coaching Today"I think the
book will be of most value to those training or qualified in the
SFA, as it contains useful resources and guidance as well as
detailed case examples and offers a clear and comprehensive read of
only 141 pages." - Pauline Cullinery, Children & Young People ‘For
readers new to the Solution Focused way of working, this text
offers an accessible, user-friendly, yet comprehensive guide to
having solution-building conversations. For readers already
familiar with the Solution Focused approach, this book offers REAL,
practical advice on the HOW of having Solution Focused
conversations with children and adolescents. Responding to the
adolescent "Don’t know", dealing with children’s boredom with the
coaching process, how to keep their attention for a whole
interview, what to do when things don’t improve, dealing with the
reality of risk and bullying … the book offers PRACTICAL
suggestions for responding to the real stuff that happens with
children and adolescents.’ - Michael Durrant, Faculty of Education
& Social Work, University of Sydney, Australia and Editor, Journal
of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy"As a systemic therapist who uses
Solution Focused therapy with clients of all ages, I am thrilled to
see a book that reaches all populations of clients with such
elegance and efficiency. This book will provide a marvelous tool
for practitioners working with children, adolescents, parents,
teachers and groups in schools and agencies. Steve de Shazer's idea
of "there is no such thing as resistance" is proven here in this
book, which contains enough case studies and examples to free even
the most reluctant client from resistance into cooperation and then
success. What a terrific gift to the field of coaching, counseling
and therapy." - Linda Metcalf, Director of Graduate Programs, Texas
Wesleyan University, Fort Worth, Texas and author of Counseling
Toward Solutions.‘Coaching is now being used successfully with a
range of clients, children and young people being but one. Coaching
not only helps deal with the issues presented but is also
psychoeducative. This meaning that it helps individuals develop new
ways of approaching life in general. Children and young people
learn fast and the learnings gained at this age lead to more
fulfilling lives. This is a book that anyone working with such an
age group would benefit from.’ - Gladeana McMahon, FAC, FRSA,
FBACP, FIMS, FISMA. Chair Emeritus, Association for Coaching UK and
leading Transformational and Behavioural Change coach."A useful
text for any beginning educational and developmental psychologist,
however it also provides a solid refresher for those who currently
practice solution-focused therapy or those that would like to
extend their client reach to children and groups." - Aimee Maxwell,
MPsych, psychologist in private practice
