Media Reviews
This is a practical book, enlivened by case material which will be of value to organisations wishing to develop youth counselling services. - Counselling I am pleased to haveread this book, for it covers its subject with a commendable breadth,clarity and sensitivity...this book is both a useful training resource, and a celebration and acknowledgement of the often voluntary work of counsellors in frustratingly unsupported and difficult circumstances. - Self & Society ...a very readable book which genuinely merits the much abused plaudit that it is an essentialaddition to the literature. I would go so far as to say that it is imperative for all those engaged in information, advice and counselling provision for young people to have read it. - Young People Now ...there is a lot of useful material here to encourage, challenge and inform those who counsel young people. - Contact: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Pastoral Studies ...useful book...sensitive discussion of the major issues and containing interesting descriptions of various counselling projects and services. - Journal of Adolescence ...a timely reminder that counselling young people is not a 'soft' or 'cheap' or 'easy' option. - Relate News
