Reviews
"Drs. Brooks and Goldstein have gathered several of the prime movers in the fields of psychology, education, and social work and asked them to reflect upon the role and function of resilience from their unique vantage points. The result is a comprehensive, detailed, transdisciplinary examination of the impact of resiliency as well as specific strategies to foster this crucial trait in children and youth. The Handbook of Resilience in Children provides us with a compass and a roadmap as we undertake this challenging journey with the children in our charge." Richard D. Lavoie, M.A., M.Ed. Visiting Professor Simmons College, Boston Author of Ita's So Much Work to Be Your Friend "Given the many challenges and stresses facing our youth today, the Handbook of Resilience in Children is an important new contribution. It provides a range of research perspectives and recommendations that can be very helpful to mental health professionals, researchers, and clinicians. In addition, it is useful in thinking about the needs of children across the socioeconomic spectrum and those experiencing stress as a result of various conditions. Most important, the focus on resilience rather than pathology is welcome and useful. James P. Comer, M.D., Associate Dean Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry Yale Child Study Center School of Medicine From the reviews: "Goldstein and Brooks bring a broad range of contributions to their handbook a? . This excellent book could serve as a special-topics text for an advanced undergraduate seminar." (J.F. Heberle, CHOICE, 2004)

- t***l (163)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem arrived in exactly the condition I remembered it from working in the Kentucky Room (1987-2014). It was as described or actually better. Shipping was very fair and very fast as was lucky enough for the Lexington post office to not send it three states away as so often happens these days. The book was packaged perfectly, safe yet easy to open. The book was an excellent value, glad to have it yet I also have mixed feelings about being able to have it along with the other Madison Cawein books.
