Counselling and Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents

By Linda Hopper

Offering a judicious balance of theory and practical discussion, this book focuses on the essential knowledge needed to work therapeutically with children and thus represents an ideal foundation text for students undertaking training in child counseling. Drawing on the work of Bowlby, Winnicott, and others, it promotes understanding of children's emotional development and examines how they use play and other creative means to express their inner feelings. A comprehensive guide, it also discusses issues of difference and identity, the counseling process and ethical issues in counseling children.
