In this engaging practice-oriented guidebook, cutting-edge strategies are presented for helping children and their families overcome a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. Vivid case material illustrates how to engage clients rapidly and implement interventions that elicit their strengths. Integrating concepts and tools from a variety of therapeutic traditions, a plethora of powerful therapeutic questions, family play and art therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused, and positive psychology rituals and therapeutic experiments are discussed. The book highlights effective ways to promote spontaneity, fun, and new possibilities, especially with clients who feel demoralized and stuck in longstanding difficulties and entrenched patterns of interaction. Trouble-shooting guidelines are provided for getting unstuck with highly complex and challenging child treatment dilemmas. Says Eliana Gil: “The books that truly captivate me are few and far between, and this one was compelling and immediately useful. Selekman embraces the creative imagination and puts it at the forefront of his work with families. I was particularly struck by his determination to engage children directly, give them a strong voice, and focus consistently on the family's strengths. This book is fun and informative reading; I highly recommend it!”
