Tough Kids, Cool Counseling: User-Friendly Approaches With Challenging Youth
The Sommers-Flanagans offer both sound theoretical underpinnings and numerous methods mental health professionals can use to counsel young people effectively. The second edition is even richer than the first and I've worn the cover and a few pages, front and back, off my first edition copy in that it is up-to-date and written in the authors' heartfelt, unpretentious voice that makes this book as user-friendly as the approach they put forward. --Kurt L.
