Recenzje

"Counseling Troubled Boys takes welcomed steps in providing clear analysis and guidance for those providing psychotherapy to boys and adolescents. Its reasearch basis is excellent, and the examples these assembled clinicians provide are both illustrative and instructive...the strength of the book is its overall clarity and excellent grounding in research." - Brad DeFord, Ph.D., in Illness, Crisis & Loss
