Violet Oaklander's book brings the methods of Gestalt therapy to the work of helping children and adolescents.

The book covers how children express anger, fear, sadness and shame, and how adults can support their growth and sense of self. Its chief readers are counsellors, psychologists, teachers and parents who work with children.
The approach is practical and rooted in the belief that children, given the right setting, can find their own way toward healthier ways of living.
