This book was presented to my classmates and I during our second year of master's (children and adolescents counselling) and it was much more interesting than I had expected. It doesn't necessarily bring new insights into children & adolescents counselling (for those licensed in psychology) but what makes this book applicable are the practical tips and worksheets presented at the back, which can be printed and worked through with their designed population.

Totally recommend it!

Gives really specific examples and you can apply the worksheets that are given to students at school or your clients at therapy. Very useful source.

This text book receives a rather high rating from me because I honestly feel that it is readable. I found myself internalizing content easier through this. The flow is rather easy to follow as well. Foresee myself needing a quick pick-me-up in future, if I decide to specialize in the area. Definitely not as scary-looking as other textbooks for university reads!
