Windows to Our Children: A Gestalt Therapy Approach to Children and Adolescents

"It certainly helps one understand much better how to work with children and provide techniques. However, I think it is because I used this with my Child Therapy class in graduate school so I can utilize this book to its fullest potential. If you're just reading it, it might be hard to practice some of the techniques because it might be as obvious. It's not the best written piece but the author is definitely knowledgeable."

"I have a thriving passion for experiential work, and Violet shows how it is applicable to child treatment. Dr. Oaklander has a deep respect for and understanding of children. She knows how to use their imaginations (and her own) to help them both heal and develop internal resources. I have included her ideas in my own therapeutic work with children/teens, and also in training clinicians. This is my favorite child therapy book. Her new book is due out in December 2006. "

"This is a wonderful book on using many techniques with children. She incorporates guided imagary and art therapy techniques. I work with children and have utilized many ideas with great success. I do wish she would write another book with even more techniques. "

"I've just started reading this book and it's wonderful. I was told that I must have this book if I wanted to work with children, and I agree. Dr. Oaklander brings you into the world of the child as no one else does.
One caveat, though - the publisher can be difficult to get books from in a timely manner. You might have better luck getting a used copy."
