Kronengold invites us to stop and wonder, to pause and reflect, and to ponder upon the complex weave of the therapeutic process. This is a book about questions, not answers  just as it should be  and in this sense is an invaluable resource not just for child therapists but all those interested in the creative and playful  process of child psychotherapy.
