Fabulous Book!

David B. Wexler really captures something special in this book. The way he expresses his ideas and thoughts about adolescents is so creative and interesting to read and learn about. I would definetly suggest this book to anyone curious about learning about teenagers and why they act the way they do.

The theoretical companion to the Prism program workbook

This book aids in the philosophical and theoretical understanding of Wexler's Prism program. It lends insight and historical perspectives on adolescent development, and clearly explains how and why to teach social skills to troubled youth.
