Review :
" The photocopiable exercises are specifically designed to ease the whole process of talking about relationships. They support the process of communicating and exploring feelings in ways the person may not have done previously. With the help of the pictures as vital openers or triggers, people are often able to describe their perceptions and emotions far more exactly than with words alone. The book provides step-by-step guidance on how to use the exercises with clients, and how to develop a theme when the drawings open up a rich channel of communication. " Useful for a multitude of different client groups, and for children from the age of six upwards. Special sections for children and young people acknowledge their different situations and the book is an excellent resource for the PSHE curriculum. " Whilst many of the exercises are appropriate for one person to do on their own, others are designed for two or more people to do together for when a practitioner is working with a couple, a parent and child, or with a family.
