A poetic memoir more about how the author's biases and perspective of mental health clients has changed through her practice than about the patients themselves.

Full review on Papercuttts.

An ode to the love and importance of books! I'm surprised that I hadn't read this earlier in my life.

I read the 60th anniversary edition and really enjoyed the extra content.

Fantastic. The character development alone makes this worth reading. Though it had lots of parts that are pet peeves of mine in books (dream/hallucination/high sequences, preaching the message of the book during the final chapter in case you couldn't figure it out on your own although you were smart enough to travel over 700 pages thus far)... I will forever think of the author as a genius.

Incapsulates postmodernism, and would be really good to teach it using this book. The story itself, at least in this set of the first four, is a bit dull. The art is wonderful though!

Highly recommended. Not only is the science presented in an interesting way that is easy to understand, but each chapter includes examples of how the authors started incorporating the science into their work/home life with children. Not everyone has access to a school that is up on the latest teaching techniques, so I think that the practical advice was the most valuable part of the book. Will probably re-read after I have a kid.
