Praise for this book
"Cottis's illustrations and explanations of how a Child Therapist works flow seamlessly from events and processes in the session with the child and then, quite naturally, the drama of the session takes over - so the reader is never bored, always pulled along by the narrative, yet ever more informed. This is a beautiful book, describing beautiful work." - Anne Alvarez, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and author of The Thinking Heart "This is a wonderful and engaging book. Tamsin is the therapist you'd want every child to have. I learnt so very much." - Dr. Susie Orbach, Psychoanalyst and author of Fat is a Feminist Issue, The Impossibility of Sex, and Bodies About
