		<description><![CDATA[This is a rigorous scholarly text dedicated to a very real social problem, and it does try to identify successful and unsuccessful community and state-wide attempts to prevent or reduce youth problems. It doesn't pretend to be a self-help book or parenting manual, or indeed a profound philosophical or political analysis.

		<description><![CDATA[This book is a good ready-to-go manual for the new or busy coach looking for new ideas or reinforcement of practice enthusiasm. Whether it lives up to its promise of providing lasting solutions is something that only time and longitudinal research studies can tell.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a time when Complementary and Alternative Therapies have (again) been under fire from some university scientists for falsely claiming scientific status, and in an era of evidence-based psychotherapy, this book is a key text. It should have a place on all postgraduate counselling and psychotherapy courses, but I suspect it will not be so readily accommodated.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're not familiar with &#8212; or even wary of &#8212; brief or time-limited approaches to counselling, this book provides a comprehensive introduction that could challenge your way of thinking. The whole theory behind brief therapy is in fact an incentive to be present, to check everything out with the client, not to let things slide, hoping that they will come up later. The time is now!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aimed at therapists and those in "helping professions" looking at making the crossover to work in life coaching, this book puts across the essence of this relatively new profession very effectively. For those who have made the decision to move to life coaching, it will be a support and inspiration. But does life coaching really offer anything different from core counselling principles like empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clearly written, down to Earth and at times humorous, this book is a practical guide to working with teens and adolescents. It is bursting with real life examples of characters who howl, swear, make up fantastic stories and fall asleep throughout their sessions -- but whom Bromfield portrays with respect and usually with affection.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This book works well as a manual for parents. It is clearly written, it has plenty of real life examples and regular eye-catching bite-sized summaries, and it convincingly explains the importance and the process of listening to your children's feelings, thereby defusing arguments before they start. For many parents, it may be a godsend.

		<description><![CDATA[This hard hitting book rages with fierce polemic, horrifies and informs in equal measure with its rich use of raw material by 'insiders' and its uncompromising stance, and finally convinces me that it offers a sound method for dealing with anorexia and bulimia -- although I am not convinced that it is the only one.]]></description>
