Recenzii

"Practical, sensitive and packed with low-tech, cheap and engaging ideas for direct work with children this book will convince anyone working with children and young people of the benefits of creative activities. It is peppered with the stories of children that vividly illustrate their delight at being able to communicate about their lives on their terms. The harsh realities of the dangers and pressure many children experience are not skirted around, the book offers a wide variety of exercises for tackling serious child protection issues. The detailed descriptions of activities are supported by extensive information about the world of children and young people and how to prepare the ground for effective direct work. This book is inspiring. I am sure this book will be of real value to people in the field." - Brigid Daniel, Professor of Social Work, School of Applied Social Science, University of Stirling, UK "Professional awareness of the need to work directly with vulnerable and abused children in skilled, creative ways has grown enormously in recent years, but there is a real shortage of literature to assist practitioners in doing this work. This important book makes a vital contribution to filling this gap in knowledge. With its combination of theoretical insights and practical tools it has enormous amount to offer students, teachers and experienced practitioners." - Harry Ferguson, Professor of Social Work, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Nottingham, UK
