As a therapist, | have worked with children and adolescents for many years and know how powerful therapeutic stories can be with young clients, These authors have not only written stories that will help guide children through typical developmental milestones, but they have also incorporated valuable information about how the developmental process impacts youngsters. In addition, they have noted the important role parents and teachers play in the lives of children and have included helpful suggestions that will facilitate the children’s reading of the therapeutic stories Icis my belief that parents, teachers, and counselors/psychologists who use this book will ind it very useful as they assist young people in coping with developmental as well as situational factors impacting their lives. This publication isa valuable addition to the field. (Dr. Ann Vernon, Counseling Professor at University of Northern lowa, lowa, USA) Sunt incdntata si scriu aceste randuri despre publicatia colegelor mele din Romania. Ca siterapeut, am lucrat multi ani cu copii/adolescenti si mi-e cunoscuta influenta puternica pe care o au povestile terapeutice asupra tinerilor clienti. Autoarele acestei carti nu numai cA au scris povesti terapeutice ce fi vor ajuta pe copii si depaseasca problemele specifice intampinate in dezvoltare, ci $i ofera informatii valoroase despre impactul procesului de dezvoltare asupra acestor tineri. In plus, pun in evident importanta rolului pe care il au parintii i cadrele didactice in viata copiilor, incluzand sugestii valoroase care vor facilita utilizarea povestilor terapeutice de catre acestia. Este o convingere personals faptul ca paringii, cadrele didactice si psihologii/terapeutii care vor utiliza aceasta carte, o vor gisi foarte utild in sustinerea copiilor in depasirea situatillor problematice intalnite pe parcursul vietii. Aceasté publicatie reprezinta o contributie valoroasi in domeniu. (Dr. Ann Vernon, Profesor la Universitatea Northern lowa, domeniul Consiliere, lowa, USA)
